I'll never forget coming in for a landing....I got about 15 feet over the runway in stormy conditions...the 20 mph headwind went poof, my air speed said "whut the heck" we went plop and I couldn't stand up quickly for a week.  My FI said after the flop " wanna go around again?" I said " are you f***ing nuts?"  This makes me look like a wisker biscuit.   :salute


I wouldnt try this if I were in a rubber ball.

Timing.... The pilot had to wait until deck motion was the least and get it down quickly... Superior skills....

You should know to cut your headwind in half and add that to your approach speed.
Just saying.. :aok

Chuck Norris doesn't land, he hoists the ship up against the landing gear of his helo...

I would not even dare to be standing where the flag guy stood, getting my head chopped off if anything went slightly wrong...  :bolt:

Extremely perfect landing though.. Perfectly within the circle of the landing pad and all.. Awesome!  :O
That pilot must have flown a helicopter once or twice before that I think....  :headscratch: :noid
