Broke both wings & landed
« on: March 01, 2012, 03:49:56 AM »
After realizing the difference between the F4U1 and the F4U1A I learned that it is possible to fly and land with both wings broken.  :banana:

If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Didn't watch it. Was it a carrier landing?

Nice!

Was that full flaps or what?

Thing looked like it was flying fine with 2 busted wings!

It isn't hard to fly a lot of the planes in here with missing wingtips.

I didn't say it was hard, just unexpected that rudder and elevator offered enough control to land it.
