It was a bit windy today.
Lost both tires (1 on touch down, second during braking), but survived so balls to them. |

As I'm severly lacking in my knowledge of dropping munitions on enemies(I only really know how to fire the GUA and AIM-9's) I load up the unguided bombs tutorial. I plan on dropping all my munitions and then heading towards the nearest friendly base to practice landing. Fate had other plans.
Here's a shot of an MK-82AIR coming down on some tents. Managed to take two tents out. You can see my other crater which took out a tank in the center of the runway. As these were my last MK-82AIR's I switch over to the regular MK-82's and get ready to practice CCIP CR 3/9 mode. I come back around and enter a dive, since the piper was looking like it was going to overshoot the target I dropped the dive a little more and released the bombs. A chain of events flashed before my eyes, first Betty started telling me to pull up, then the release piper went funky, and then there was an explosion, and I was no more. Here's the aftermath. In the background you can see the two tents my last MK-82AIR took out, in the foreground you can see what's left of me.

Considering the conditions (summer heavy thunderstorm preset IIRC), I call it great success!
Bloody miracle I even managed to find the field let alone the runway. |

Did you land this visually or with ILS and instruments?

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
Great landings are those that leave the plane intact

Here are some shots from the Guided missions training mission.
GBU-38's bringing down the Hammer of vengeance on cargo containers everywhere! My last GBU-38, and my last kill for the day. Coming around for the last run. This one actually went wide and was my only bomb that did not destroy a target. 3/4 is not bad though. Barely visible, but there are 3 boats down there. I had the urge to buzz them, but decided against it. Home safe and sound with all the systems off. The landing was a close one, on the first run I'm almost down when the tower told me to go around. Mind you I touch down (in the middle of the runway ) a second later, but I know that I'm not going to have enough runway to stop, so I throw the throttle back into full, retract the speed brake, and go around. The picture of the boats is actually from my go around approach. I come around again, meet up with the runway almost at the half way marker(bastard plane just kept floating). I had full speed brakes, flaps, and brakes and I still wasn't stopping. The end of the runway was approaching fast so I turned the wheel a little back and forth. Some frightening tire screeching sounds later and I'm at a complete stop. Luckily I did not blow any of my tires, I turn the plane around and taxi into position. Tomorrow I take on the Maverick training mission! @Dowly, if you want screenshots without the little information bar at the bottom, hit LShift+Y. I'm fairly positive It's LSHIFT, but to be fair I did press LCTRL+Y and Lalt+Y too, so It could be one of the three. It's in the controls as Turn off or Remove Info bar.

Visually using TAD and navpoint I had set to the AF.
Of course, I didn't remember that the navpoint is on the center of the AF, instead of the start of the runway, so I had to do some quick maneuvers around the time I saw the runway number flash past my right window. Hard right rudder, nose down (had around 100m altitude at that point), managed quite a smooth first touchdown (as in, didn't break anything), but the angle I came in made me bounce and lost the left wing on final touchdown. |

Practicing guys? That's cheatin'!
I can successfully deploy cannon, sidewinder, one mav (never two?), cluster bombs. I can't deploy second or more mav (I'm usually in the ground or on fire by now!), or any guided munition like the Mk-82. CBUs my favourite - a nice coverge for taking out soft targets, occasionally it'll take out a T-55 too. Must practice myself, but not tonight - BF3 finally arrived through my letterbox!

Hey! It's not cheating when everyone else(save dowly ) can kill things better than I can. I just finished the Maverick tutorial and managed to kill 4 targets with my 4 mavericks. Last target that died wasn't the one I wanted to kill(I had been trying to get a second T-52 farther up) but the aiming with the Maverick is a bit of a pain. So I settled on another target that it wanted to lock onto. There would be pictures, but I failed to take them while flying, and then failed to realize I couldn't view tracks for tutorial missions.

While everyone else was enjoying themselves online, I was having connection problems and was forced to play with myself()
Here are the shots I got when playing. As I'm used to flying MP missions where there are no Labels, I forgot to make sure my labels were off, so the following pictures sadly all have labels. Shilka and I enter epic chicken match. He missed. I didn't. Maverick Meets Ural UAZ "tries" to outrun the next maverick. Keyword "tries" BDMP gets a round in on me. Only noticed loss of right MFCD. Fairly good day of killing if I say so myself. Although I lost my two back wheels in the landing process
