That's parkin' it on a dime ain't it!

Saw that awhile back, and thought it was really cool. Speaks very highly of the skill of the pilot.

Just awesome. And you thought the 'fall backwards' trust test was scary.

Saw that awhile back, and thought it was really cool. Speaks very highly of the skill of the pilot.

Especially when you consider that the ship was moving forward, so the Harrier was too, at the exact same speed as the ship - while taking into account windspeed across the deck.

Thats cool. The last Harrier I saw land dropped from about 60 or so feet. He was a visitor here a long time.
Nice find Bob.
