Personally i think we should keep it as a measure of combat effectiveness not lower it to circus tricks.

Ferget the hanger, like Cav said. Accuracy and quick launch/landings apply to a combat enviroment, barn storming doesn't (thought it is fun =)

If ya do it in the SEA you have your times from the log IIRC. Just tell a person to launch and the log marks the time they spawn. Time stops when they .ef and get out, as I think that's marked too. No need for people with stopwatches

So this will be limited to naval planes only? That only gives the advantage to those who fly the navy planes regularly.

Or will that carrier be able to spawn any fighter/attack plane?

You can land and launch almost all non-jet, non-bomber A/C in AH from carriers anyway, hook or no hook.

Time advantage given to the kites with hooks, they can get out of their kites quicker. Hit the deck, stop, out. Non hook kites sometimes have to use the whole length of the deck to stop. Been times when I've landed my pony and stopped with the wheels at edge of the bow

While I'd rather use my pony, I can jabo just as well from the hogs, and we're all on an even playing field against the clock when it comes to landing

True cave, but most non-navy craft accelerate and climb better, so its a trade-off i'd say.

Hey Snort! S!

If your still up for doing the WILLIAM TELL competition let me know. I would like to "OFFICIALLY" enter VF-27 in it if you do.
Drop me an e-mail and let me know what is up.

BTY, The USAF WILLIAM TELL competition is "AIR TO AIR" not A2G.

Not sure what the bombing competition is called. GUNSMOKE, FANGSMOKE?
