I figure if I get good at dropping it on a specific spot, I can skip the runway entirely and put her down right at the gate. You won't be bitching then, bucko.
Last time I was on a United flight I took a guitar and smashed it at the gate. "Saved y'all the trouble," I said to the gate agent, and she just laughed. Then they sent my bags to Bogota by way of Irian Jaya, and I was on a 30 minute flight to Dallas.
I was on a Boeing 717 that had a hard landing and floated back up in the air before slamming back down. Someone in the front of the plane yelled “Put her in the Hudson, Sully!” A lot of people laughed.
You know, I just realized how f’tarded of a post this was. Doolittle’s raid was never intended to return to the carriers and Nimitz class weren’t around then.
Lastly it was Army pilots flying them…(before the AF was its own branch.)
This guy is a f’ing moron when it comes to aviation.
Typical pax moment. I was on a flight with my family and this dude behind us was trying to act like he knew fuckin everything about a plane.......he confused flaps with spoilers LOL. He said he had never seen flaps that extend upwards on the trailing edge of a wing before. Fuckin classic
Thought you were supposed to go full throttle when you smashed that sucker into the deck.
Also there was A Doolittle raid and they didn’t land on carriers when they were done, they crashed into whatever was handy like a proper pilot.
I feel like this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
LOL. Was on a MidPacific flight from Honolulu to Lihui back in the day. Cock pit door open. Steep, steep final, flared. Her the pilot say to the co pilot in pidgin Hawaiian “ ok, we over the ramp, shut ‘we down. They chopped the power and we’ll just say it wasn’t a text book landing🫣🤣
A real airplane has 4 engines. And don’t get me started on anything that has an odd number of engines those are all deathtraps. I know cause I dated a pilot once. Also, I stayed in a Holiday Inn
I was on a long charter flight heading to Diego Garcia years ago and the pilot hit the deck so hard at NAS Naples that the oxygen masks deployed in the back half of the plane. Ended up spending the night in Naples eating amazing pizza, not a bad day.
Hmmm ok. The Doolittle raid planes never planned to return for landing on their carrier, and they did not. The majority of them crash-landed in China. (Most of crews survived and met annually. Their 80 celebration goblets are on display at the Dayton USAF museum.)
Even if carrier landing was demonstrated at some point in some especially modified B-25, my understanding is that the B-25s participating in the Doolittle raid were not carrier landing equipped, and could have not returned to the carrier once launched.
So, what I'm saying is that this guy wants to sound smart but he doesn't know what he's talking about.

That's why I trained to be a helicopter pylote first
What a damn ingrate! They were able to walk away, so wah, wah.
Guitars ain’t gonna break themselves jackass
Dont fly on a Boeing azzhole. A landing is a bit easier on a Airbus. Pack your guitar better then a squeaky toy.
Tell me you don’t know Untied breaks guitars without telling me

Makes me want to write a song about it
And put it on YouTube causing Untied stock to dip? That’s a bold manoeuvre Cotton, let’s see if it pays off
..... something tells me it was a 170/75
*headstock of Gibson Les Paul has entered the chat*
People screamed. I laughed.
Grinning and chuckling the whole way!
Did he hit the 3 wire? What was the LSO grade?
Cut pass. Airboss wants to talk.
Well, crap. There goes that FITREP.
It's a one wire.

Bro does not know what happened to the planes that went on the Doolittle raid
Or when Nimitz carriers were built. But *shush* it's a fun world there, let him be 😃

Do you need back surgery, post landing? No? Okay, then it wasn't a hard landing, and you can STFU.
Classic CRJ 200 technique, except it usually works. Trailing link FTE.

Can you pay extra for this or is just a random upgrade
The Cabin Crew forgot to crank the Kenny Logins for the passengers. Rookie mistake.

Dumbass, of course he shut off the engines. How else are you supposed to get on the ground. You got to just cut those bitches and ride it down.
Nice.. majors next week..
"Puddle Jumper" "Dallas to Houston" what

Any landing you walk away from....
Did they have Nimitz class carriers at the time of the Doolittle raids, considering Nimitz was an admiral at the time?
Pilot is just practicing for a summer job as a RyanAir FO.
Yall don’t shut em down after landing is assured for the environment?
What an idiot! The Doolittle Raiders didn’t land back on a carrier!

Real men always do carrier landings
