Cape Canaveral (new & improved)

[TSC.]

Hi all,

I got this shot after being inspired by Rottydaddy to go to Cape Canaveral:



I haven't entered it in the April Stunt Competition as I didn't think it would be fair, seeing as the orginal idea wasn't mine.

Cheers,

TSC.

One word...WOW.

Way cool stunt man!

[beaky]

Too bad... I don't think I could do that inverted- yet.

[lemoncat]

a niffty bit  of flying coke..a really great place around that area for some nice flying

what is the airport code for Cape Canaveral? Nice stunt BTW try it in a F14 or F18

The runway nearby is actually called "NASA Shuttle Landing Facility"; the identifier is X86 (or X68, can't remember).

[TSC.]

F14 or F18 eh?, well i'll have a look, but I killed myself 3 times trying it in the Stearman

[TSC.]

Ok, the guantlet had been thrown down, F14 or F18 you said.

Still inverted.

I found one of these lying around, does it still count??


Up close:


Hope thats ok.

your the man

[igorski]

*cough* do it in an X15 *cough*  ;)

[TSC.]

Why don't I just do it in a brick - similar to the X-15  ;D

[igorski]

?? the x15 was the mach 6 rocket plane....

[TSC.]

LOL igorski,

What I was implying was that the X15 is very good at doing mach 6 - although when it's doing 120kias 15 feet off the ground, inverted, it probably has all the aerodynamic qualities of a house brick.

[igorski]

lol ok, sorry... perhaps i was impying you do it at mach 6  ;) I doubt the fd's would allow that, at such low altitude though.

[TSC.]

Jeez, I couldn't even hit Europe at mach 6 - let alone aim for that little hole under the shuttle.

I can just imagine it:

Did you see the hole?? ?? - no, but wait - here comes Bermuda!!



Cheers,

TSC.
