A different way to takeoff....

[cspyro21]

Today I was pratting around in a Hawker Tempest in and around Iraq (I think that is where this certain one was based), and I found a, uh, 'new' way of takeoff:


Ready for 'takeoff', Sarge!!


Hurtling down the runway, reaching TO speed.....


V1, should I say it in a Tempest (I don't think they had V speeds?)
"Sir, shouldn't you be going the other way?"


Here we go...the start of my TO strategy!!


Nose on/in.....


Tempest gets flung into air.....


Spin her round and fly away.

It sure was fun, only problem is A) it wouldnt happen in reaality and B) the pilot would probably be killed.

Thanks for looking!!  ;D

P.S. Look what happened 5 minutes later!:-

LOL, that's normally the way I land. Great to see somebody can do it on take-off .

Easy Flyer.

Your technique is truly faultless, Spyro! LOL!!!!!!!!!

As for those little problems you mentioned, I'm sure they can be overcome...

I love the way the skidmarks took off also. Gives a real impression of speed.

[Daube]

Mwaaahahahah yes ! I was about to say the same thing, those skidmarks give a comics impression  ;D

[jordonj]

Ha ha hahahah!

Sgt Omag says: Grab a pump and get that plane out of the drink... you silly boy!

Impressive series cspyro21! VERY impressive!  ;)

[cspyro21]

Easy Flyer, don't worry, with a little practice you wont be killing all of your passengers in your 737 on landings anymore.

Krigl, thanks! I gotta say, we at cspyro21 Inc. are working hard on a method to make this a reality.

woodlouse, I was thinking the same thing. Looks rather odd!!

Daube and Jordon, thanks for reading!

RD, yes, maybe some more training would be handy...unless I become a stunt pilot.  ;D

Omag Sir, uh....wheres the pump?

Thanks for your comments people, much appreciated!
Cheers  ;)

No, no, no, I've seen documentaries on Discovery & thats how all pilots in WW2 took off - standard operating procedure, yes siree!!

LMAO, nice one cspyro,

Cheers,

TSC.

[Wingo]

LOL! nice, i'm guessing crash detection was off?? And you display yet another error is FS, skid marks into mid air!!

[killerbunny]

That's spectacular

Do it with 747

[Sytse]

Where did you get that plane? From Mars or some other place far from earth?

I love the way the skidmarks took off also. Gives a real impression of speed.

OMG woody, you are killing me....
I will never read a comment by you while eating

[cspyro21]

TSC, are you sure it was DISCOVERY you were watching?

Winged_one, no, crash detection was actually on ( )!!!!
and yes, floating skidmarks could be a problem.....

KB, testing now.....

Pigeon: I found it in a hangar at Groom Lake  ;D

cableguy......think I'll pass on lunch tomorrow.....


Thanks for your hilarious comments people!
