ddavid 149 Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Who needs a £6 billion carrier when you can do this? http://www.flyingmag.com/pilots-places/pilots-adventures-more/video-small-airplane-lands-cargo-ship I doubt if the accompanying auto-gyro could have managed the landing...

allardjd 1,853 Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Oh, THAT kind of Foxbat. I was thinking of a Mig 25. Pretty cool. John Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I can see Clint Eastwood getting out after landing the other Foxbat on a veeeeery long super-tanker! Nice one, John... Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Very nicely done, but when you think about it, many early aircraft carriers were converted merchant ships so really the whole thing has gone full circle. the A-22 is a great little aircraft. I've got one in the hangar. May have to try this and see what happens! Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,284 Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 The landing scared me the most, whew, that was close. Link to post Share on other sites
M.I.B. 39 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Great stuff! I like that craft and there's a marvelous freeware simulation of it by Rick Piper, I suppose that's the one Alan is talking about. I've added it to FSK library HERE. Link to post Share on other sites
flybytes 34 Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Even taking the tanker speed into consideration, either the video editor was replaying sections of the film for effect or the head wind was very fast & variable! At the end of the day, video editing or landing an aircraft, timing is so crucial. Ray. Link to post Share on other sites

It really is a lovely aircraft to fly. I did a whole thread on it not so long ago. http://forum.mutleyshangar.com/index.php/topic/11026-foxbat/?hl=foxbat Link to post Share on other sites
