My kamikaze attempt thwarted by a particularly rugged nose zeke. (It was sitting stable in that position)

 :lol biz - that's a classy auger!

I learned the hard way not to turn a mossie to much in a high speed dive...

...maybe the guy I tried to BnZ knows where my ailerons landed, but definitely not the same place where I landed minuts later.

Roll any aircraft off of a cv. Make sure its going in a strait line. If you let your aircraft glide down to the water directly in front of the bow of the cv it will push your aircraft for a long ways until it turns.

I was on perfect glide slope...just about to cross the ramp...then, whoosh!  Saw the CV plow bow-first into a huge trough in the high sea.  Before I could react, the stern rose about 30 feet to meet me.  Managed to get my ride down and stopped.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!   ;)

awesome traps.


maybe...if you didnt fug around with cameras you wouldnt have to go around :p



everytime i land a real aircraft i feel a little grin of smug self satisfaction. except the one time when i nearly crashed a glider landing on a grass strip into the gliding HQ (a converted double decker bus). that time i just had smug self satisfaction that the instructor was so quick.
