Cleared to Land, on Final approach.  Full Flaps, Air Brakes extended with two thirds throttle, Landing Gear down and locked.  Maintaining 120 knots IAS, 500 FPM descent.

...


Touch down!!!  Throttle back, brakes on full.  No reverse thrusters.  Oh Crap............

...

This runway is very short....  90 Knots IAS.  Ejector seat armed and ready.  Crew in crash positions.

...

Prayers said, mayday sent, divers in the water.

...

Oh well, maybe I was being a little ambitious trying to land this thing on a carrier..........................

one questions, one idea.....

Question: Is that as slow as it can go?

Oh yeah, the idea........try stalling it right above the runway, at the beginning, that oughta stop it better.

Cool pics though. Keep at it.

Any slower than 110-120 Kts IAS and the nose was so high that I crashed instantly when the tail connected with the deck.

And it was stalled at the moment of touch down.  It may be possible with realism set to easy but that would be cheating.

Will I've managed to get an AN225 down on the deck, but I class it as a failure as the wing and the tower became somewhat intimate!!!

yea, it is mission impossible, the only other thing you can do is land it like a helo, but i dont think that can be done iwht a b-52, and it would sink the carrier in the prossess. I have made things like C172 land like that though, never idle wiht full flaps, and a level atitude, and not pay attention to airspeed, the funny part is, a 500' fall, and no crash! or broken anything

I got the B-25 on and off the carrier, but if you guys want the secret for launching or landing on a short carrier deck.....here it is.....

Using weather, place a high wind down the length of the deck to aid in the airspeed for your A/C.....that way your ground speed will be lower as you keep flying speed where you need it...
I have landed some small light planes while travelling backwards relative to the ground.........set the wind to match your landing or launching heading...........

I thought someone would have already picked up on this and mentioned it by now.........it works......after all, its the way that Dolittle got his departure for Japan to work........

Well I discovered it a while back trying to see how severe I could get the weather. Turns out you can hover a 747 quite easily. I suggest you try it.
