Ditches on Runway
« on: July 25, 2010, 01:58:05 AM »
Someone mentioned this in another thread.  I've had it happen twice dead center where the three runways meet.

I had it happen twice yesterday at A44 in the Blue arena. Once with 3 kills on board and the second time with 6 :(. Second time, I was very careful to tower out at the exact center where all the runways meet. The odd thing was that other folks were towering out without any problem.

If it helps, I was flying a 51D both times and I have film if you want/need it on both.

I thought it was just me didn't have film so glad someone did. I lipped the A20 all the way home and got a ditch. Will stay away of the center of runways.

Good to know. 

But my question is...what's the fascination with taxiing to the exact center intersection of all the runways?

 :lol  Ok, ok...I get it.  :lol

It's just that I can't remember the last I came to a stop right at the very center intersection; damaged or not.  I've "landed" many places up and down the runway, or other places where one shouldn't land :D so figured everyone was working hard to stop right there.  I guess I won't look for the local cheerleading squad's car wash at the intersection afterall.

That's where I end up stopping also. 

I actually taxied away from the center the other night because I knew....

First time I didn't notice where I was on the runway. Second time I went to the center, thinking (incorrectly) that if there was one place on the runway that should work it would be the center :).

Wrong!
