heheheheheh.......................run boy run........I'm coming in for landing:P

Nice approach Craig. But next time try to keep the nose up untill you flare the aircraft. looks very similar to a landing I had at Cairns once.
See the little Mexican peasant run.........

US border patrol going to extremes:P

if you lived to tell the tale it was a good landing....

The pilot lived... But the Mexican who tried to fly (Or seems to be flying!)... well he flew alright.
OFF A CLIFF!
Hehe who knows.
-Staggers.

Is that CPM running away from the truck?

Not a Pobjoy engine,


IT'S NOT A POBJOY ENGINE I TELL YOU

yes..that it isnt! :duh

That'll teach him for parking on the landing strip!

oops

going cheap, slight damage to right wing:P

i had a bit of trouble when i flew too..
i just pulled this tab under my seat..

I had a good one somewhere of a C-46 on its back

pilot disorientation on the approach path was possibly to blame.

What is the difference between a good landing and a great landing?

A good landing is one you can walk away from.

A great landing is one where you can use the aeroplane again.

When my grandfather was learning to fly with KSFS at Bankstown back in the mid-50's... they used to fly Auster Aiglet and Auster Archer aircraft... little single-engine high wing monoplane. He told me this well documented story from his experience...

One day there was a student pilot preparing to do a solo flight in VH-AET, an Auster Archer.... when the engine cut out somewhere during his taxy run. standard procedure was to strap the control column back to the seat when starting the engine and chock the wheels, as being powered by a DH Gipsy, the airscraft was started by swinging the prop. This young guy neglected to do either, and also neglected to set the throttle to idle... instead he just jumped out, swung the prop, and the plane immediately began rolling forward... after almost being run down the man chased the plane across the field as it gathered speed minus a pilot. :duh

Needless to say... he was unable to catch up and the Auster took off into the wide blue yonder of its own accord and proceded to fly around over Sydney whereever it happened to feel like flying...

To cut a long story short, After rather a degree of panic, a Gloster Meteor from Williamstown was sent up to shoot the trainer out of the sky, but was unsucessful as the guns jammed... so it returned and a pair of Sea Furies (from Nowra methinks?) were sent to intercept the plane as it continued to float around over the city... eventually the plane was shot down by one of the fighters off Palm Beach...

After it was shot down... the pilot who scored the "kill" marked it on the side of his Sea fury in true military form, with a small black sillouhette of an Auster!

The moral to this story is... any landing you can walk away from is a good one... any TAKE-OFF you can walk away from however... it is generally frowned upon!

is that a mexican jumping bean?

that little mexican guy got some killer air.

stuff world vision, someone send this picture to the NBA and help change a poverty filled mexicans life forever!!!

I wonder if you could 'walk away' from a landing like this? :P
