Flying the jets is easy, but landing them is harder and more fun.. 

So: Foolish pilots, post your trick landing tales or screenies here

Here are some of mine:

Lots of fun to confuse the ground pounders when you land a jet and help them cap a flag, or pick up some guy walking around without any transport, hehe.

I landed a US Bomber on one of the plane sheds on the PLA side of the oil fields.  The plane slid down the side so that it was held up by the wing.  I got out and then had trouble getting back in the plane.  the interesting part was that I was able to take off again with out crashing as I was facing the mountians.

Go About 500-600mph When Entering A Landing Strip And Keep The Nose Op While Doing It So The Back Wheels Touch First.

The jets can go about 250 mph and stay in the air, if you're ready with the afterburner.

So to land: Cut speed to about 250-300MPH about 100-200M before runway (or road, or whatever), then cut speed below this so it hits 0 above your target, or you're going real slow. By that time you should have come close to runway level, keeping the nose level or slightly up (Nose down = Doom), so your wheels hit the ground going slow.

Can lose speed by throttling back and doing turns if you're going to fast lining up to the runway, which is handy, or just go around for another try.

If ya want to stop quickly, you can flare up the nose and cut speed hard, which can stop you dead in the air, and the jet falls from there to the landing spot (which is fine solong as you are perfectly level - can drop a meter or two no worries, or can even drop from about 20 meters up without much damage if you do it perfectly). That's how I landed at some of the tricky spots like the gas tank roof and boat bay in those screenies. Just takes some practice to know when to start slowing down.

Also really handy to land for repairs at the runway. A lot of pilots don't seem to know that the place to get repairs on the runway is next to the green metal repair hut. Fast repairs if you stop right next to that, meaning you don't have to do passes to get back to full health, and then you can take off again quickly.


Edit: Nice landings guys
