Grin Grin Grin  Well, takeoff was okay, flight was okay, then I had to try a sharp turn for landing, first part was okay, then boom, collapsed the nose gear.

Come on Ozzy show us how you do it with the big guy.  Haven't seen any of your tricks lately!!!!  lol

Grin Grin Grin  Rifleman, I had the good fortune to see both the AN225 and the Concorde within the last few months at Gander, AN225 delivering some comms equipment from Montreal and the Concorde on the way to Kennedy had to make a medical stop.  Impressive?  Oh Yes very much so.  Bugger to fly too, as you can see, but thats just me  lol

Splash, err have you ever heard of using the rudder? Grin
Oh and don't hit the breaks too soon Wink
Its just a matter of practice. I'm busy working on a few projects at the moment, and not getting too much air time, but don't worry, I've got some real spectaculars in the works Grin

He probably ate a lot of baked beans and cabbage for extra thrust Dave Grin

Grin Grin Grin  Dave, I actually got it off the runway at Meigs, of course the gear is skimming the water.  Full throttle, Full Flaps, brakes on, til it shimmys, shudders, shakes, rattles and rolls,  and let everything go!!!!!!!  Lots of Fun!!

Oh Yeah, as Ozzy said (My secret is out), but since he knows all about beans and cabbage (and the brewskies) I'd say he's doin' the same.  That ain't smoke from the engines you see, that there is good ole fumes (Hold yer nose)!!!
