• 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.

Touchy Brakes............

I did that exact same thing last night while landing the Vickers Armstrong Wellesley. Came in a might hot, got on the brakes a bit too hard too soon, and up on the nose she went. The sim did not register it as a crash, so I was stuck there with my tail in the air and engine running.

OUCH!

Oh man.. You can see the passenger already holding his arms up as the ground is about to come up and say hello. arrgh.. The pilot is probably already thinking about how he is either going to sell it as a wreck, or all the things he will need to repair before it flies again..

Grim..

Shattered prop blade scooting along on the ground below on the left...

Actually I'd say by the blur in the photo that this puppy hasn't finished his tumbling as yet ... :monkies:
 
Is that Van 7 or 9?

Shame!

I agree with Snuffy. The photo reminds me of the old Road Runner cartoons when Wiley Coyote stopped and looked at the ground just before falling in the Grand Canyon
 
It's defiantly a nose dragger (tricycle gear). if it were a tail dragger, you would be able to see the main gear in the shot as they are even with the leading edge on a Vans RV.

Makes me think, nosewheel collapse.
