Old home movies, no sound, but worth
the watch::::::::::::

Looks like the little helper landing struts
are tied to the deck for takeoff!

You Yanks will try anything on a carrier. I suppose it's mainly due to your carriers being the size of a small English county.

Well, Capt. Sullenberger made landing

Really enjoyed watching that

Looked like they were getting the hang of it after the first few bounces.

Apparently the hardest aeroplane to land. There was a brilliant vid on youtube at one point of dodgy landings made by would be pilots - not sure if it's still there and I don't know how to do links

.........it was also accompanied by a song full of swear words!!

Edit to add - had a look and it is still there so, if you want to look it up "U-2 Dragon Lady: Landings" by Tomcatav8r. The music goes really well with the story but be warned it's got the F word plastered all through it.

WARNING - CONTAINS VERY STRONG NAUGHTY WORDS

Oh........ooooops, eh aye

Not guilty! :))

I see how they named the aircraft now.

"I crashed on landing dude"........

"You too"?

Dan4th I had a cartoon idea around that subject which I thought would work quite well but never got round to it

Might revisit it when time allows

I think SM has other ideas for your
leftover time, Magsie....

What a Slavedriver!
