Navychief and all those who love Navair:

 

Here are some more landings I made on the carriers, including one with the Osprey I repianted...

Hey Jinks!

 

Great pictures! I especially like the RA-5C, and the VA-37 A-7E!

 

Have not found a RA-5C for FS9 that has visible landing gear. The one I downloaded was for FS2002, and some of those models appear that way in FS9. Also, I haven't downloaded the Osprey yet.

 

Thanks for the pictures. I hope to someday get as proficient on landings as you are!

what sorts the men from the boys is bad weather,night landings on a

carrier must be a real ball buster in fear,

Hey Archer

 

I was not a pilot, but I can tell you that just BEING on the flight deck when those aircraft are trapping at night is dangerous. You can't even see your hands in front of your face. Only flashlights with red or blue lenses are allowed on deck during night ops, and the amount of light they provide is useless. Then there's the tiedown chains. You haven't experienced pain until you trip over a tiedown chain, and smack your head/face on the nonskid of a flight deck. Hurts like h....

 

Yep, working on the flight deck is not glamorous, to put it mildly.

 

I can only imagine the stress a pilot feels when coming in for a landing on a carrier.

Wow! That RA-5C looks pretty sweet...Hope someone makes it for FS2004.

:D Guys: all it takes to get a good RA-5c is a couple of searches at avsim.com flightsim.com or ALPHA SIMULATIONS where they offer lots of ex-paywere a/c for free now. :P

Navychief: check your email. :D

Hey Jinks

 

Alpha Simulations appears to be down. Can't access it. The RA-5C I downloaded from AVSIM a while back works ok, but the landing gear are not visible. Small thing, but annoying.
