Storch Carrier Landings

[Seanaldinho]

And theres the joke  .

I was subtly saying it might not be possible (and it doesn't look like it is based on the distance you have to roll before you fall off the turret).

I think you could pull it off like I said it really take no distance at all to get off the deck.

But weedhopper there is wind.....look at air speed

That isn't wind, it is the speed of the ship you are sitting on.

I landed on top of Shore Battery, then took off again..... Naw I didn't

It's not a carrier, but...

Took a few attempts to get the landing, liftoff was a breeze once I quit trying to turn around for more runway... 

[Tupac]

I landed on top of the indestructable and took back off

However that speed equates into the speed of the airflow over the wings.

Yes, but the point is that its still not wind.

[Tupac]

Yes, but the point is that its still not wind.

sounds like wind to me.

I was able to land inside the main courtyard in town, the yard typical to the west of the main intersection.  Thing is though, there is no room to turn around and try and take off.

I've done that in a goon once. Once.....

On a calm day go out on a motorcycle and feel the wind on your face

If I get into a car in Mississippi and drive at 65 miles an hour north to Ohio...  when I get to Ohio and step out of the car, I've actually just broken the laws of physics and warped that distance instantly.  I never moved.  I sat down in my car, sat there for 17 hours, and then magically appeared in Ohio when I opened the door.  This is the same effect you're describing with the carrier.  You're definitely not moving and have a 0 velocity.

I believe that's correct...  or maybe it's all just relative?

Well yes its all relative. For instance from the perspective of inside the car no you did not move (at least not much). But from a worldly perspective indeed you did move.

Yes, but there's no wind inside my car.
