I remember seeing photos of a sunderland that had crash landed at a fighter airbase. It had received damage to the hull of the aircraft and therefore couldn't land on water. The pilot ordered the crew to bail before landing (some stayed as one ot the crew was hurt) The pilot landed the aircraft on the grass verge next to the main runway.

He left a 5 1/2 inch wide track 500 yards or so long. The aircraft stayed in one piece and all walked away from the landing. I reckon the pilot didn't have to buy drinks that night! I believe he was awarded a DFC for the landing.

The aircraft was removed and and repaird and was later placed back in service.

He must have felt good when he strolled away!

I guess so!

I haave some photos in my rather lage book collection of the aftermarth' I'll have to see if I can find and scan them for you.

I wonder what the fighter boys thought of that pilot, I bet they tried to get that pilot into fighter command

I saw an episode of JAG in which the hero saved a crippled F-14 by having them lower their tailhook and then using his armored glass canopy to push them out over the water, thus letting them eject where they could be picked up by friendly forces. I was choking, laughing out loud and shouting "B***S***!" all the way to the end of the show, when they had a disclaimer saying the episode was dedicated to a Phantom pilot who saved his wingman by doing just that over VietNam.

You're right, sometimes real life is weirder than the movies.

Not so much humorous than strange, BUT did any of you ever manage to do THAT???

I don't know how this happened, I didn't give him the navigator qualification, nor did he ever serve as the navigator (which I think would be a more appropriate way to handle qualifications anyway)

Yeah, if you hit the arrow key facing up (to look upwards) and just keep going with it, you'll eventually get this view.

Are you using SH3 Commander 2.6? Sometimes new crew come pre-qualified and experienced.
