Skillfully Ditched?
« on: January 20, 2007, 12:08:04 PM »
Last night after we passed over the hour mark and 105 was pretty much flat and the fight was done, myself and 3 squaddies rolled into A1 to land and we all stopped, I turned off my engine and got a ditch?  Now I know I am gonna get the "Were you on the runway" question.  Yes I was on the runway, yes I was stopped (you can't end flight anyway while rolling), and yes I am sure of the two facts above.  Why did this happen and what does it do as far as aircraft lost for that frame?

Happened to me and a squaddie in the first frame as well, Sketch. Except, we taxi'd into the hangar. We both got a ditch. Sucked
Apparently, one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother, Colin. Or my younger brother, Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin. - Tim Vine.

Only Aircraft shot down and killed are being counted.

Why it happened? I'm not sure. I will ask the Terrain Team.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
