I whish to hell that I had the camera on for this one.
This morning, I was in the FM2, elevator missing, pilot wound one gun out and flying on vapours ie: almost no fuel.
I lined up the carrier and started to passout hit the auto level and waited.
The pilot woke up and I started to get lined up again was just about to land and blacked out again.
I had dropped below the deck so I hit the Auto climb and gunned the engine just as the screen went black, there was an awful sound and I thought bugger I crashed.
But when the pilot woke up I was on the deck and was able to EF to a successful landing.
Now that was just plain cool, its a pity I did not have the film on....

...... and then the bungee cord boinked you off into the sea so you exploded?

If only film showed blackouts.

My best CV landing ever was in P-51D. Right wingtip busted, left flap out, one elevator gone. Came down hard, snapped gear, smashed rest of the wing off and stopped with the nose under the deck so I could see inside the hanger bay. Succesful Landing :D

I've landed a deadstick 262 with no wingtips on a CV before... aint no thang ;)

Nicely done, Yeah film wouldnt been cool. i think ive tried somethign like that once but ended up getting shot back out to sea.
-
Yeah, i love the blackout on touchdown... must be encoaded ;).
Film doesnt show CV in right place anyway, so filming CV landings usually doesnt work for me :(.
-
My best CV landing was with a Goonie. I was low on gas, so I couldn't make land. I thought, "What the hell?" and ended up making it. I think I trapped the first wire. ;)

i belly landed about 10 kills in a 262 on a cv once, that was sweet.

Can you trap wires with your wheels?

i have landed a goon on cv multiple times - was circling waiting for base to be taken, refuelled, and got 2 or 3 proxies on people trying to get me through ack.
also kept rearming a b26 on cv deck, taking off and killing the SB's.
