VICTORY
« on: September 27, 2008, 08:35:28 PM »
Just now, I experienced my first CV landing in over 6 months :D
....thought I'd share it with world. Sure I kind of broke half of my right(or left) wing, but my engine's still workin' and I didn't topple off the edge of the deck :)
I'm so proud! ..yes I know this a wasteful topic but I won't do it again, just needed to expel the excitement from within me....I should write poetry

My first Carrier landing looked like this.

Just landed an Ar234 on a carrier the other day,  Then turned all the way around to get position and rearm with 3X500kg bombs and took off again.  Was fun!

(Thanks to the RATOs)

  It brings a smile to your face when you manage to land 5 feet away from the edge.  :aok Congrats. Now do it with a 262.  :D

Carrier landings are a lot of fun. Especially when it turns after it disappears under your nose... :P
