ATC to heli pilot you are in the way of two heavy jets heading towards you.    You must move out of their way  before they crash into you.

 

ATC we are not moving  as they are only A1   :to_clue:  aircraft  passing  through.

Lowering the Jet trainer into position on what proved to be a disastrous first attempt at an overall disastrous Navy Micro Carrier test. The Highly modified Launch, refitted with Quad 1600 HP diesels and a tiny "Mid Deck" was intended to speed into a high wind with a single combat aircraft on the deck and hopefully achieve 95 IAS just enough to loft the fully flapped aircraft into the air. The first attempt, the only picture of which is displayed here, quickly demonstrated the necessity to clamp the aircraft wheels to the deck until "take off" speed was achieved. This aircraft was lost 15 feet from the position seen here as a side broaching wave pitched it off of the deck soon after leaving ship side. Tests were abandoned after the loss of a total of 3 aircraft and then the launch vehicle itself when the clamps failed to release on the final test, lofting the aircraft and the launch into an unrecoverable roll with loss to all equipment and personnel.

My initial take on this was along the lines

Instructor to Student "This is what the size the flightdeck looks on finals.....just remember to have your wings extended"

I'm giving this one to Brett for "The Captains can steal anything but god forbid we bring an apple into our bunk for a late night snack".

Being an ex navy Chief, I got an instant chuckle with this one.  Over to you Brett, and thanks for all the entries on my first run.
