Remember I said CLEAN, all my other 2 successfull landings were sloppy and off line with the runway! Shocked

Through the magic of instant replay I took snap shots of my 1st. successful clean landing! It was a Beaut! Grin

.

Here is the little platform in the back ground I will attempt to land on! Shocked

Ghostrider 2-0-0 request permission to land! Shocked

Ghostrider 2-0-0 you are three quarters of a mile call the ball.

Maverick has the ball! 8)

Here I am at the end of the runway catching my breath after I lovely perfect landing (note all the smoke and skid marks as proof of a landing)! Grin

Next time my first fly by the control tower!

COOL thanks Swanny.

There is no 5! Grin

For some reason when I was adding the # I thought I did five already and later found out I didn't! Cheesy

But there was an order to them ,this is the pic you missed. Grin

IT WORKS!!!! YAHOOOOOOO! Grin

The only thing left to do now is practice night time landings. Which is almost impossible because this f-14 doesn't have night textures and it is very hard to land a plane when all you can see is the blinking lights off the wing tips.

Oh yea I almost forgot, I want to try a fly by on the tower at about 250 knots and 5" from the tower! Shocked

The tower is not a solid object, I tried landing on the deck and wound up swinging into to tower by mistake, and wound up flying right through it!
