To all,

I'm gonna try to land a Fiseler Fi-156 on this rock. I think I can make it. Has anyone managed to land on this outcropping in Bruno's Malta scenery, off the south coast?
 
Rami,
If you can't pull it off in a Fi-156 it probably can't be done. :d Let us know how it plays out.
 
Maybe a Bird-dog could do it. But I'd say it looks long enough. Give it a shot... post a pic if ya pull it off!
 
Ah, thats the island of Filfla.

Used to be used as a Naval practice target. Dived it once - the sea bed was littered with exploded shell cases, fuses, bits of rockets, and the odd unexploded one. Mavellous !

It'd be difficult to land on in real life - there's not a square foot of level ground on it.

I tried...but it's not a solid object. Ya fall right through it. :crybaby:
 
just a bit of info, When German paratroopers rescued Mussolini when he was captured the first time they landed a storch on a very small area and then took off again to remove him.

BLONDI:cost1:
 
If my memory serves me.....the Storch could use only about 30 yards to land. and 75 yards to take off

any High school Football field will do.
