Form landing??
- Thread starter wink
- Start date
The Blues are not "the fleet." They can do stuff like that because they have the demonstrated skill to pull it off consistently without killing anyone. They also have been known to do tuck-under breaks in their show which I'm sure would be highly illegal elsewhere.
I agree, it's not a section landing, For the fixed-wing side, it makes sense it's not something to do often, if at all. But, just for clarification, what Pags originally said was "section approaches," which seems to be what wink described, and (based on all accounts here) is in practice in Primary.
@Pags, yeah, section appraoches to landings are more common in the helo world because if something breaks or falls off, wing has somewhere to go or can just stop (on a runway, of course...LZs are a different animal, and something I'll leave for the experienced to discuss).
That is why the question. Everything we do in Tacair revolves around the boat. This is NAVAL Aviation. We land on boats one at a time. Every landing is flown that way. Doesn't matter if the runway is 9K feet long, you fly the ball all the way down, no flare, even if you have the runway. So why would we be teaching form landings in a T-34? Hey boys will be boys on deployment and on det. But my question was are they teaching form landings now. I guess not from what I read here. These guys were too tight for a formation approach, interval landing. No matter. Hope they had fun.
Could have been a couple of IPs/IUTs getting their form upgrade...
Ahh, okay, I gotcha now. Wasn't understanding that you were saying they were TOO close an interval. Perhaps someone w/ an FTI handy could enlighten us w/ actual facts then (Again, w/ the "facts." Many they're troublesome...).
My guess: it was two Teenie-turbo-Weenie Instructors trying to "impress" and "be somebody" ....
Highly.
One of our A-7 drivers did one @ Cubi a week after someone else was warned about it. He got a week in hack up at the BOQ annex. Busted out ... went into the 'PO .... got caught .... spent another week in hack up at the BOQ annex.
This time in leg irons. Chained to the awning support. I kid you not ....
... we took him some San Miguel's and Mongolian BBQ to ease his pain.
What good shipmates. Can't think of a better way to spend time in leg irons then with a San Magoo and a plate of O' Club Mongolian BBQ. That was some good stuff.
