This may not be that facinating to most but I had fun with this... Grin

It took me a couple attempts but I was able to land my Baron on the deck of an aircraft carrier just outside of San Fransico...

Lining up...
...

touch down and full brakes...
...

Had to turn a little to the right to make sure I didn't go off  the end...
...

Once I was stopped I thought I would give it a go to take off...
...

After getting the engines to full power, I let her go and was surprised to find out how fast she sped up!
...

After I cleared the deck, she sunk a little bit but then was able to start climbing...
...

After that challenge I was spent... Grin

OH yeh, one more thing..............the Tiger Moth isn't easy........I think it was the hardest thing I have done when flying in Flt Sim 2002..........everything else has been relatively easy after a few tries........this one took many, many tries to get in, and when I did, I stayed for afternoon mess in the galley. 8)

Also, maybe the Lincoln is longer than the Constellation, but I would have to look into it to verify that......

If you splashed, then you didn't do it  Cry..........you need to come to a full stop to be successful. Shocked If you can manage the flight deck, next step is to try to land in the hangar deck..........show pics for proof........ ???

I managed to get the BIG Antonov down, but the machine classed it as a crash as the island had been severed in two by the wing! Bugger
