I like the ripples on the fuselage during the trap. Anyway, whatever you do, land on centerline :)

Forgot to add, I flew this beast today......sadly some bleed air problems prevented us from pushing past "the number" out in W291.

Edit: not my photo BTW

I love that E-2 picture. New background. Looks like he's a little short of the target wire though- prolly a fair pass. I can't wait to get behind the boat again.

Yeah, a long time ago. It's pretty good, though the best ones in the PNW are Evergreen and Boeing IMHO

That was awesome. You really pushed that throttle quick to start off. And they was a steep bank when you turned around. Was all that by the book?

This thread makes me want to waist hours and hours playing MS flight simulator.

I just retired from the Navy as a 1310 and then a 1317 (TAR). H-60B,H-60F, C-9B and C-12.

I'm at Boeing now on the P-8.

hey thanks! the quick throttle application was correct, however I have a habit of over banking in the pattern so those turns may have been a bit aggressive. Its funny though, I was trying to consciously shallow out the bank but they were still a little steep.

If you're into model planes(haven't had one in years...but some day I will again!), you should sign this - be sure to pass it along to another person or forum.
