New SAPP landing technique revealed
« on: July 08, 2008, 11:52:22 PM »
A new product of Titanic Tuesday was the 'assisted' SAPP landing.

I'd actually managed to get down relatively intact with only one engine out and a few bullet holes.  As i was slowing to a stop a P51D decided to shoot me on the runway.  How he didn't kill me I have no idea, but it did flip me over and I ended up next to the hanger hanging in my straps.

I'd like to thank that 51 pilot for helping me learn another way to land the 38 :aok

why did you land?  You still have plenty of parts left to be shot off.
