Bent jet
-
I know it shouldn’t happen BUT - there is something rather satisfying about bringing a jet home 160 miles in really adverse weather with No MFD’s, No DED, No TACAN, No HUD, on back up Radio, adjusted trim and having to use Alt Gear ;0)
The crew chief went ape - but I have my friend Falcon Tower to thank - he taught me how to navigate properly !!! thanks FT.

I share that feeling. I’m often more excited with a failed mission and bent jet than a very good successful mission
After landing that is -
glad its not just me - phew !!!

Hold 135 kt and aim the top of the rounded HUD projector at the crotch. Pray helped

And real women don’t need to land on a carrier. They talk the helm into flying the carrier up to them.

Well other than the fact that crew chiefs don’t fix MFD’s, DED, TACAN, HUD, or back up Radio.
Trim it depends on the why of it if they do anything. Alt Gear is where they would get stuck helping hyd fix it.
