Struggling to go over a hill with a NOE C-47 I dragged the tail wheel on the ground the entire way puffing dust while the rest of the plane was pointed skyward with the main gear up.

Trimming out a compressed 262 I slammed one of the engines into the ground and flew away on the other.  The bottom of the broken engine was as flat as a pancake when I landed.  Similarly I've bent several props on trees only to remain airborne.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

I once de-acked a CV with Top Gun and we landed on the Carrier; backed up and waited for people to take off......I forget who but someone else ended up with 17 in a P-40E, I ended up with 9 in a C.202.

/No perks though, the jerk kept upping A6m2's

Last ditch effort on a 51D in my last lancaster. Hit the gear on accident, throw it into a stall, and tried to snap roll. Ended up with a perfect flat spin that recovered nicely with 1 notch of flaps. Flat spinning buffs :banana:
