Well yesterday he said to me he could land a Antonov225 on the USS Nimitz, Well i was round at his today and i asked him to prove it....
heres the evidance:

around 250ft out from the Nimitz, spoilers, flaps and gears already been deployed.... time to worry

Chase Plane View (F-14)

Just got His wheels right on the edge of the carrier while going 25kias. (stall)

Brakes not needed here, he was going around 10Kias

How close to the Carriers tower do you want to get hun? ? ?

Inverted 225 Over the Carrier


There you all go... some pics from my hunny's flight..
Hope you all like them (transloads AN225).
Bye for now....

xxx xxx xxx

LOL!!

yes, nemo is a good Boyfriend, he rule the sky in the russian metal!!

Cheers Theis

Ozzy's got another lunatic looping 225s then...

25 knots on touchdown?! You've gotta be kidding!

25 knots on touchdown?! You've gotta be kidding!

25kts IAS, so with a 130kt ish headwind you'd be fine...

It was 25Knots on touch down Because he stalled it so he could land where he did (think it was delibrate)

Lol it was a deliberate stall..... but it was fun to try again.... (not half asleep this time)... you should all try it sometime.... but looping the 225 is a pain in the a$$....

btw thanks hunny for posting these shots for me......

Nemo.........

I used to do that using ArrCab and no headwind in the 225, it is a REAL challenge
Of course flying inverted with the shuttle on your back under the Golden Gate at the northern end where it is narrowest is also a worthy challenge

Ask Ozzy, he's been doing the AN225 thing for a few years now.  I saw him do some amazing things with that big ole crate.
Nice job, Nemo

Ozzy was replying at the same time I was, but the particular stunt he did was the one, I believe that I had asked him to do.  Wow!!!!!  is all I could say

I think it was you who reckoned you couldn't get a heavy down in that crater runway in Venezuela Ed... Now that is one of the best landings I've EVER done! Skimming the crater and holding her just off the stall was one hairy bit of flying The fact I did it first time amazed even me

Which crater runway is that ozzy? never heard of that before,
Well the Next "crazy flying" multiplayer is on saturday if you want to join in? prob in the afternoon (england time)...... that goes for everyone aswell

Nemo.......

I can't remember I'll have to look it up in my archives.....

I'll be impressed when I see him launch the 225 from the Nimitz!

'course, I'd have a hard time landing the Lear on the Nimitz...

Found one of my old stunts (still with screenies) http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/ ... 1054984902
