Nice work on that landing.
I kept watching the heads of people in the surf and panicking he was going to hit someone. What are the chances, go for a swim, get hit by a plane.
Im assuming these aircraft, being carrier based, are built to withstand a bit of ocean spray.
And if not the weathering will look more authentic now :grin:

I thought the landing was good too, but close, too close to people. These Valiant Air Command idiots did nothing right in this whole episode. Nothing. Not the first time, either.

Dan Gryder is an interesting guy.

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
