Really? When I tried taking off with the lancaster, the wings broke off against the tower. ....I'll never forget that dreadful day.

Lol, sorry that movie quote popped into my mind as soon as I read your post.  WTG on your first trap.

Better yet... land a 163.  :lol


I refuel my 38 on CVs quite often.

I would think a 262 would be harder to land on...

Should you land in a 163, you should be either out of fuel or out of ammo. (With fuel being the more likely). So by the time you reach the CV, you should be at normal landing speed or a bit over it. With a 262's jet engine and horrible throttle control, if your under the normal landing speed by 20mph+, you're pretty too late to bring it back up. Along with it's fragile-everything, easy to break. And it's a heart breaker when you lose all those perks...

Pilot: Striker was the squadron leader. He brought us in real low. But he couldn't handle it.
Prosecutor: Buddy couldn't handle it? Was Buddy one of you crew?
Pilot: Right, Buddy was the bombardier. But it was Stiker who couldn't handle it, and he went to pieces.
Prosecutor: Andy went to pieces?
Pilot: No. Andy was the navigator. He was all right. Buddy went to pieces. It was awful how he came unglued.
Prosecutor: Howie came unglued?
Pilot: Oh no. Howie was a rock, the best tailgunner in the outfit. Buddy came unglued.
Prosecutor: And he bailed out?
Pilot: No. Andy hung tough. Buddy bailed out. How he survived, it was a miracle.
Prosecutor: Then Howie survived?
Pilot: No, 'fraid not. We lost Howie the next day.

Prosecutor: Over Macho Grande?
Pilot: No. I don't think I'll ever be over Macho Grande.

Wow, after all this time it all makes sense. The torn carpet the potted plant on the hood of the Chevy the empty Pepsi bottles and that fat cat named Fred. i guess you were right after all. I feel so much better now that I know for sure.

Thanks Murdr :aok

I find it useful when you're landing without any wind. Sometimes, what ends up happening is I end landing diagonally, which is really annoying because, I add some power and then the plane ends up flying past the ropes. Basically, it's aligning myself with the carrier that I need to practice.
