First successful landing....

Well done! I found the trick is to keep an eye on their vertical speed and don't let it drop too fast. Keep it just below zero and ease into the landing. Let's slight adjustments. I'm still not 100% confident in my landings.

And remember a rolling landing is OK! That's why they put wheels on the Apache not skids.

Yeah, just like this!

Now that's a really weird way to chock an aircraft!

Hey Bones what's the meaning of those letters/symbols on the side above the "74"?

These are awards given for ship's efficiency in general and in specific departments/specialties.

The big one is the Battle E. It is the one award that it mist fiercely competed for.

Just did one of my best hops ever in the F-14. 2v2 F-14 V Mirage2000. I killed both with Sparrow, then met the tanker and took fuel to get 11,000 lbs total, then headed to the boat and did a case I with the most perfect SHB I'd ever done, proceeded to trap and caught the 3 wire with simply an (OK) 3 grade!

JSOWs away...

Out for blood

XP11 Flight to RJAA (Tokyo) last night. Hand flown approach and landing in the mighty 727! No autoland like those airbuses. The ILS didn't work for some reason so I flew visual. I came down from FL270 in a short distance and overcompensated and ended up too low. Also a bit offcenter

That was nice and smooth. So odd to see landing without a bright green HUD in my face.

Nice ending to my Liberation turn tonight

very nice. at least nobody rear-ended you.

Xpendable still brought her home.....

Not sure the pics aren't showing. Works when you click on them.

So cool! Thanks! I was looking forward to these because I never get to see what it looks like from the outside.
