    Sorry to hear it didn't go better for ya there, Hoomi. Although very happy for ya that the only damage was the prop! I'm feeling your re-maiden will be much sweeter... ;)

        In between rain storms I took my FMS F-18F 70mm to the local school track...

          I'm going to blame the pilot. What can I expect from a pig in the cockpit? ;)

            Diggin' that camera view, Aros! Got me a little dizzy a time or two, but seeing those divots tossed back on the landing was just priceless.:Cool:

                  I took all of my Freewing jets out to fly on Saturday. Had a great time! I love the really high alpha landings with the Mig 21 and F-16. We didn't get any pictures of the A-10 or F-16 flying.

                    Here is a flight with the F-4. I love this plane! I was too hot for landing and got too aggressive with the elevator after I touched down. No damage was done. This plane is tough!

                      Landing looked good to me! What caused it to float back up? It is a tough, sweet bird though. I took mine to the local school for the first time. Man it chews up the airspace there QUICK!

                        After I was down I went to full up elevator to keep the nose up and lite as long as possible. I had too much speed so she took off again. :Scared: 100% pilot error.

                                TiredIron, Very sorry to hear of your father's passing. Our sincerest condolences. A thoughtful gesture on the flight. My father, too, was a WWII bomber pilot with the 8th in Europe and the 13th in the Pacific. Best, LB

                                        Besides using sun block, and better than using long sleeve shirts, I recommend sport sleeve cool (keywords). Search them on Ebay, from China is about one to two dollars a pair. I use them a lot when I go out cycling, and when on the field or doing yard work, besides the sun block. And still I get a nice suntan, but not as intense where my arms feel hot for the rest of the day. After a while I forget I have them on, and I do notice a difference when I dont have them on.
