Jessie The Jeep Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Very skillful, but any sensible pilot would fly to the nearest port, and wait for the ship to sail in!! Navy pilots aren't quite wired up right. I read a Swordfish landing accident report in the wartime training magazine 'Tee Emm' while the carrier was in port. The pilot flared out 20 feet to high, stalled, and came crashing down onto the deck. When questioned by the captain, the pilot simply replied that while he was away flying, the tide had gone out!!! As I said, Navy pilots aren't quite wired up right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topdog Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I like the way the oleo legs compress fully as he bottoms out the collective trying to glue it to the deck until chain crew are in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Very skillful, but any sensible pilot would fly to the nearest port, and wait for the ship to sail in!! Good idea when the port is close enough. What when the're way out at sea with nowhere else to land? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie The Jeep Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 ......What when the're way out at sea with nowhere else to land? Then the pilot should have the sense to have a long range aircraft or one with a refuelling probe! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
