Looks like a nice bit of formation flying and hope Tom learnt a few things from it. As for the 3 point SM landing are you sure it was intentional

blimey Mackrick - if i can't land a Piper Cub................ =))

by **Mackrick** » Fri Apr 10, 2009 3:52 pm

Well you never know tail winds , brake failure, engine failure, cat on runway

by **Saracenman** » Fri Apr 10, 2009 7:00 pm

exactly! i aimed for the cat! =))

anyway, Wedgy and i had a good look around Cuba today

lined up in our Connies, Guantánamo Bay

i think Wedgy has more Connie screenies

then into our Lancs - fsxpilotstew joined us again to make three Lancs

then some excellent formation despite the turbulence

formation turn

to land at MUMZ (Sierra Maestra Airport)

Nearly a 3 hour sortie today.
SM's choice of Cuba and Constellations for starters.

Lined up on a stormy airstrip

I followed

Coming in for landing

SM had to abort

I had to take off straight away as I was running out of runway at 50knots :-o

Only just managed to save a dipping :))

Changed to Lancasters. While SM sorted himself out, I did a low flypast

Lined up by the tower

Someone else joined for a fab line up on the runway

I followed in close formation for most of the way - including turns

I landed, SM "drove" onto the runway :))

Formation takeoff $\:D/$ :ymapplause:

SM formating on me this time ...

SM watching me land ... one of my best ever landings (I think SM will confirm

)

Great fun

by **Mackrick** » Fri Apr 10, 2009 7:11 pm

SM please take notes on the correct way to land

by **Saracenman** » Fri Apr 10, 2009 7:24 pm

it was a FANTASTIC landing!

but here's the clincher for me - Wedgy flies in that view pretty much all the time - i can never understand how he can not want to watch his instruments [-x

even when he does fly from the proper seat, look where he puts his GPS...

covering up the most important instruments! :((

normally Mackrick, Wedgy gets it on the runway, but it's usually at warp speed (due to not lowing down early enough) - after some FI-busting turns - and no idea whether he's actually going up or down! =))

at least i try and do it properly - limited visibility from the cockpit etc =))

Poppycock!!!

So from that screenshot, this is what I am missing.....
Compass and altitude!

I can see my heading and altitude from the red writing. Everything else I can see

Engines, Vertical speed etc etc.

This is the only "instrument" you need ....

...... Shoved up your ****** =))

by **Saracenman** » Fri Apr 10, 2009 7:57 pm

so that you can HEAR me crashing? =))

by **Mackrick** » Fri Apr 10, 2009 8:48 pm

Oops settle down boys.....

by **Wedgy** » Fri Apr 10, 2009 10:07 pm

SM started it sir :((

by **Mayfly** » Sat Apr 11, 2009 10:21 am

if you dont stop it I'll give you BOTH something to cry about !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

=))

by **Wedgy** » Sat Apr 11, 2009 10:22 am

... but ... but .... MISS!!! He started it :((

by **Mackrick** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:00 pm

What the matter with you all have you forgotten how to take screen shots or are you all on strike ?

by **Wedgy** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:16 pm

Easter got in the way

by **Mayfly** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:44 pm

it's difficult MR when you keeping crashing before you can press the button,.. hey Wedgy?

A little jaunt in TSR2's today for starters

This was the closest I got to SM - far too much power behind me

Watching SM coming into land

Bit heavy, but still nice (the landing ... not SM =))

)

Next off, XM597's - somewhere in Argentina (Piloto Civil Norberto Fernández International Airport

sm), on our way to Port Stanley

Following SM up and up

Nice to fly ....

oooooo BOMBS

At Port Stanley

Next up, we joined another session with a carrier. SM in a Avro 504 and I took to my Vickers Vimy $\:D/$

Lining up for a landing

Closer ...

Nice touchdown .... even though I forgot the Vimy doesn't have brakes :))

And finally a little formation on SM

by **Dan4th** » Tue Apr 21, 2009 4:18 pm

What? No pics of Bomb Craters??????????????

Danf.

by **Saracenman** » Tue Apr 21, 2009 5:04 pm

sadly not Danf - Wedgy's camouflaged XM597 had a full load of undroppable bombs, but mine in anti-flash white had an empty bay

room for a PANNIER though!

so, on to our sorties...

TSR2 first (strange that Wedgy complained that he couldn't approach Warton to land, at less than 200 knots - apparently HIS TSR2 wouldn't stay in the air! mine was fine though

)

then Vulcans from Piloto Civil Norberto Fernández International Airport, Argentina to the Falklands - Wedgy's nice landing at Mount Pleasant...

the bi-plane carrier ops - i landed my Avro 504 first...

and then taxied over to watch Wedgy lumber in with his Vimy - nice landing again :ymapplause:

then some great formation - Wedgy couldn't keep his Vimy straight and level or me to formate on him, so i became the target a/c again...

I hearby rename the Vimy ..... The Flying LEAF

by **Mackrick** » Tue Apr 21, 2009 6:54 pm

Love the TSR2 ones and its good to see that normal service has now been resumed..
