• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Catapult Launch At Dawn

I've been working on an around the world flight using carrier aircraft and only landing and taking off from aircraft carriers. I've got a decent collection of carriers set up all over the world, mostly old straight decks but with a few modern ones as well. I started this at Pensacola Florida and have worked my way to Europe, down through the Middle Eas and on across India to Thailand. Late last night I did a dawn take off from a CVL off of Phuket and flew on to another CVL off of Singapore in the Aeroplane Heaven Seafire III. Anyway, I took a bunch of screenshots of this leg and hope yall enjoy them.

The darn attachment function won't let me put them in order and is constantly scrambling them up. The first one is right, but the other are in reverse order.

Okay, the pics are in proper order this time.

On my initial approach, I got down to short final just off the deck and decided that I didn't like the way it looked so I "took the wave off" and went around for another try. This time I caught the wire and parked. Off to the Chief's Mess for coffee and donuts.

I forgot to mention earlier that the CVL is the one from the MAAM Turkey pack and comes with the files to set it up in various locations around the world. And I did (along with Paul "Put Put" Clawson's Langley CV-1, Saratoga CV-3 and I repainted Saratoga to Lexington CV-2 and put it all over the globe too)
