Since he is obviously humor impaired and totally oblivious to sarcasm, I think it is more a case of being so socially isolated he has no understanding of colloquial expressions like "**** from shinola" or "my god". -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

Man, that would be cool, using a modified C152. Do a 180 over the numbers, with lots of rudder and convert the A/C into an effective Canard, and land backwards. That sounds like a super idea! Then go to throttle as a reverse thruster. Too easy unless it's on an aircraft carrier, but that's also too easy because the arresting cables catch the nosewheel. Of course, if you time it right, when the nose gear rips off it can get yanked through the prop. But since I don't have permission to land on carriers and you apparently have, I guess you'll get a wikipedia page before I do. -c Well sims are fun, I was running low on fuel near Hawaii heading North, in an SR-71. At 80,000 feet, I set KIAS to 649 with descent, ((that's not secret anymore, right)). I practically glided into Alaska, (Elwsworth?) on fumes. Ken PS: Dear Officer, the reason I was speeding was to get to the gas station before I ran out of gas. (works every time).... |

Sure some is sim's, but I managed to land an F104 on a Carrier deck, to prove it's possible, do you know why? Cuz it could save a pilots life! Ken ************************************************** ** Ken Did you chop power landing or land power on? Big John When I land something like a Cessna (in reality) I use minimum power so the prop is acting as a break. In the F104 sim, I crashed and burned about 10 times. IIRC, I set-up slowest speed on final, (possibly with airspeed brakes) then, near the deck, flared, cut power, and squealed the tires. I think the sim allowed a 2g vertical strike on the gear. It was quite a rush - even tho it was a sim - when I finally landed it ok. Do you do sims to? Ken ************************************************** ************ Last first. Yep. Flew the Link Trainer. Did you ever fly one? On question. If you chop power before your rolling you are going to crash. Been there. Seen that. Do you know the minimum ejection altitude with the original downward seat?? Do you wear your spurs when flying your hot sim? Big John |
