I'll have to give that a go! Or even try landing on it... that would be tricky!

The only thing I have managed to land on top is a glider or a chopper! nearly a Extra 300, and a cessna. :)

Cool, is it a solid surface even with crash detection off?

The carrier landing package available on SimV will allow any a/c to land and "catch the wire" as long as its a hard surface. As long as you have the tailhook down.

I landed Dino Cataneos F14 on a desert road that way. I was just fooling around outside Phoenix and it stopped me on a dime.

Be afraid!!!!  Be very afraid when Ozzy sees this post.  His interest will be peaked, his blood will start to roar and boil and before we know it he will be in full gear, stuntin' out with the biggies.  ha ha

I remember a few years back we were launching An-225s off buildings in New York and down into Central Park... happy times ;D
