And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Maybe I'm incorrect but the wire isn't supposed to grab the front tire assembly but the "Arresting Hook" near the back end of the aircraft.
Never piloted an aircraft onto a aircraft carrier but the physics of stopping power on the front end of the aircraft seems a "bad idea" as they flip over like so many cars I see hitting guardrails during EMS runs.
Couldn't see the ball, then looked and no one on LSO platform, or even an LSO platform, took a step back, no angle. we land on the angle not towards the bow. Compute game or AI. The island looks US, but I can't think of a foreign boat looking like that either. Who knows.
Regardless of whether this vid is AI or not, I'm still amazed people can make moving metal islands so big you can land planes on them. And these are only a couple-hundred years from wooden hulls and canvas sails tech that've been used for thousands of years.
What wire?
ReplyDeleteMaybe he was just doing touch and goes. Just saying...
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look right.

There were no cables, hence my sarcastic question. It's not a real carrier.

ReplyDelete...think its from a game, the mix of parked aircraft seems a bit off...
