Imo, je andere boeg doet het niet zo geweldig.
Niet vreemd overigens als de connectie met hoe wat waar in de luchtvaart zeg maar, flinterdun is.
In ieder geval heb je wel gevoel voor humor.
Mag ik voorstellen dat je een nieuwe poging doet maar nu met een plaatje wat meer de intentie van het topic dekt?
Er is tenslotte al drie dagen geen enkele reactie gekomen.
Cheers

OK, het ziet er naar uit dat Imo A even druk aan het werk is dus stel ik voor dat Alien een nieuwe challenge plaatst.
Tech specs waren goed, alleen het uniform is American Airlines.

Welkom back TD, bruiner als voorheen?
Het is in dit topic inderdaad rustigjes, ook Alien is vertrokken.
Open huis dan maar.
Aha, open huis? Dan heeft Art er nog eentje.
Wat is hier aan de hand ?

The only privately owned Sea Harrier vertical/short take-off and landing fighter suffered a gear collapse when making an emergency landing at the US Navy's Patuxent River test centre after experiencing a hydraulic problem.
This video footage posted by Nalls Aviation, the US owner of the ex-Royal Navy BAE Systems Sea Harrier F/A-2, shows the 11 November emergency vertical landing on the hover grid at Pax River in Maryland.
According to the Sea Harrier's owner Art Nalls, the hydraulic problem occurred on only the second flight since the ex-Royal Navy aircraft was made airworthy following its arrival in the USA.
The first flight was the day earlier, on 10 October from St Mary's airport in Maryland, and the landing gear remained down throughout that flight. On the second flight the gear was cycled soon after take-off.
"Approximately 12 minutes into the flight , I got a 'hydraulic 1' warning light," says Nall. He lowered the gear, but "all landing gear indications remained unsafe".
The decision was taken to divert to nearby Pax River for an emergency vertical landing. Nall executed a series of positive- and negative-G manoeuvres in a bid to use gravity to lock the gear down, but did not get a positive indication.
The Sea Harrier arrived in the hover over the V/STOL grating at Pax "looking like it had all gear hanging down...but still unsafe indications in the cockpit," he says. "We thought we had the main gear and nose gear down. The landing light illuminated, which is an indication the nose gear is down and locked - but it's not a reliable indication, I have since been told."
Nall, a former US Marine Corps AV-8 Harrier pilot, had not flown a vertical landing in 16 years, "but it was like putting on an old pair of shoes", he says, praising the Sea Harrier's flight controls. After a gentle touchdown, the nose gear and starboard outrigger abruptly collapsed.
"It was the most violent 4ft fall I have ever had," he says. "By the grace of God the ejection seat didn't fire."
Damage to the Sea Harrier appears to be minor. "There is no evident engine damage, only cosmetic nose abrasions and some minor skin wrinkling," he says. The aircraft is on its wheels and will be towed back to St Mary's by road for repairs.
A replacement radome, nose-gear doors, starboard pitot-static probe and VHF aerial are already on their way from the UK, he says.
The incident occurred during "Phase 1" flight testing to gain FAA approval to put the civil-registered Sea Harrier on the US air show circuit. Phase 1 requires 4h of flight testing to demonstrate safe handling. Nall expects the aircraft to make its East Coast display debut in the spring.
A Washington, DC real-estate developer, Nall acquired the freshly overhauled aircraft via a broker from the UK Ministry of Defence after the Sea Harriers were retired from service. He believes it is the only flyable privately owned Harrier in existence and is looking for sponsors to keep the aircraft on the show circuit.

Hi Art,
Thanks, ben idd donkerder dan voorheen hoewel we in de natte tijd zaten en dus veel wolken hadden, maar daar verbrand je al onder een parasol :haha:
Mrs. TD wordt trouwens al bruin onder de schemerlamp, dat heb je met die donkere typjes....
Wat een verhaal overigens van die Harrier!
Greetz,
TD

Goede poging Brakes, but, no cigar.
Hier een hint, een foto die vijf seconden na de eerste is genomen, om de vaart erin te houden want anders komt TD morgen weer vertellen hoe het precies zat en zo.
Cheers

Deze volgt daarop!
This series of photos documents the measures taken to absorb the impact of a Harrier which was unable to lower it’s landing gear by normal means. As you can see ground crews secured mattresses beneith the aircraft.
What they didn’t count on was the Harrier sucking those mattresses into it’s engine.

ah, tis een maxi single, ik weet dat verhaal nog, dubbele screw-up, hiet is mijn poging twee dan:
TAV-8B USMC VMAT-203 at MCAS Cherry Point
Basically, the nose gear wouldn't come done. The Harrier has a backup system with a nitrogen bottle to blow the gear down in this event. Well, someone significantly outranking the pilot ordered him not to blow the gear down (which is the specified emergency procedure) b/c by his reasoning, if the nose gear didn't come down, he was afraid the jet would break its back by having all that weight on the long nose of the T-bird. With that, he elected to gather mattresses and strap them down to support the extended nose, and you have the obvious result. 'Normally' a Harrier that can't get it's gear to come down will suck up the gear and do a vertical landing on the strakes/gun pack, they'll jack the bird up, fix the gear, and it's back to flying rather quickly. In this case, the motor was hilariously trashed with mattress springs protruding out and everything. This has since become a legendary event in the Harrier community (rather small community) and is laughed about often. The best part was, when they jacked the plane up in the hangar and pulled the gear handle to blow them down, all 4 came down and locked in place."
andere quote:
They experienced hung landing gear (repeat gripe on that jet) and contacted base for troubleshooting. The EP involves cycling some circuit breakers, cycling the gear, and requesting visual inspection. If none of that works (which it didn't), you blow down the gear. At some point, the squadron let the MAG CO what was going on (for what reason, I have no idea). He was worried that if they blew the gear down and the nose gear still hung up, it would crack the frame of one of the scarce T-birds. He directed that the pilot do a gear up vertical landing. It would crush the strakes and probably FOD the motor, but it's better than cracking the frame. He directed the mattresses to be placed under the nose. When the pilot heard about all of this, he refused to do it unless he heard it directly from the MAG CO. The MAG CO got on the radio and told him to do it. The landing was pretty unremarkable, despite the photos. The damage was limited to the engine (Fodded), and the strakes (crushed). Expensive, but not the end of the world. When they jacked it up, they we able to blow the gear down with no problems. This is when the story gets even weirder. Once the jet was in the hangar, relatively undamaged, an EZ-go golf cart came flying into the hangar and smashed into the jet, causing some D-level repair damage. It turns out that LCpl. Schmuckatelli was huffing keyboard cleaner before making his parts run in the EZ-go. He got really dizzy, lost consiousness, and the cart went out of control. It drove directly into the hangar at full speed through a gap in the hangar doors and smashed the jet. Like I said, the truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. You couldn't make up something that bizarre.
