GroovyMotion Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Well, I could not say no to another great military aircraft...and on sale! I've seen videos of the tomcat making landings on aircraft carriers so I decided to give it a try. Doh! Crashed twice on the side of the deck lol...gotta practice quite a bit more! Anyways, love the scenery and love the aircraft!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adambar Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Your going to need to practice a bit more JF. I know, just move the second carrier in front and make the runway twice as long. I used to love to watch the Tomcats practice at NAS Oceana in Virginia. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Great aircraft, great images and did you or did you not land on that carrier? Perhaps another set of images to show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brito Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Exciting images! One of the most challenging things for pilots! After you do 25 landings hooked in thirty 30 attempts, you will be baptized! Thank you, Sinesio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Excellent captures Jean-François. Thank you for sharing your toys BTW, you should try Dino Cattaneo's TOMCAT D. It's rather good and free. Latest version is really outstanding and compatible with P3D2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Wow that's awesome Adam, must have been nice looking at tomcats land! Great aircraft, great images and did you or did you not land on that carrier? Perhaps another set of images to show?

Orbxtreme Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Great buy and shots, you won't regret it. And there is some serious training ahead when landing on a carrier is involved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyMotion Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Great buy and shots, you won't regret it. And there is some serious training ahead when landing on a carrier is involved! Thanks! And yes but I will first try to land it...it's a very tricky aircraft at low speed, it drops pretty quickly and since they are huge engines they tend to lag quite a lot!
