since my first foray is "civil" I shall attempt to attach a civil aircraft picture. The old, as old as me, Monogram Cessna 180

Very cool!

OK so you got the image attached to the post, great job. what you missed was the "insert"

Hit the insert button and

the system will generate code like this
Code:

The code is inserted where your curser is, you can move that line of code anywhere you'd like in your post.

Great looking build!
 
Thanks for the help there and the kind words on that model!
Any and all help getting rolling is appreciated!
 
Thanks!
Back in my lost youth I apprenticed as an AME working on these every day, went for a test flight once with a very young pilot, I didn’t think these things could pull those kinds of G’s he stood it on a wing tip and circled an island at full power at near ground (water) level, I remember looking up through the top of the front window and seeing trees going by horizontally! Looking through the side window showed shore line and rocks right below me.... also going by in a blur! But I loved it! Also had another young pilot take me for a ride in a Bell Jet ranger and pull negative G, the only thing that kept me off the ceiling was the seat belt!
 
All fun and games till someone pokes an eye out!

The hairiest I ever felt in a small plane was with my Dad's business partner who was also former Navy pilot, he always landed tail low, I mean really tail low! He landed on the grass approach because he wanted to make the first taxi way because he was late or a meeting! :pilot
 
I've heard of (a while back, cause it'd get frowned on now)bush pilots doing their best to land Beavers Norseman and Otters at or, near zero ground speed, in a head wind, then add power to taxi in to the docks...don't know if it's true but it makes a great story.
 
If you've seen the early Carrier landings where the deck crew literally reached out and grab the wing and help bring it down, I'd say it's plausible.

Can't find that video but I could swear I saw it.
 
Glad you said young pilots . Talked with a lot of military pilots . Most of them after they had some really scary experience.

The most believable thing I ever heard from one was that there is no such thing as an old bold pilot.

Does this help?
Naval Aviation has come a long way since the USS Langley!

That's the video I kept finding, not the one I had in mind. This one predates the Langley when they just had a platform on the back of a cruiser or something, you could tell the ship was underway and the plane was almost matching speed. Deck crew was on the platform and literally reached out and grabbed the wing helping bring down the plane.


FOUND IT!
