Yea so you've flown inverted across the bridge, looped around it endlessly, even parked a tank on the ships mast (ok that was me) but are you up for the latest fab of death my friends?

I got this idea from a stunt performed by Paul Mantz. He actually flew through an open hanger, not much different then the ones we have in game. I tried it many times only to crash and burn... many times :dry:

Flying through it is one thing, but snapping photos while flying through it is imminent death. So if you are up for this challenge, I highly recommend having your wingman snap the photos on your suicide mission.

Post your gruesome crashes awesome attempts here

Tried the upside down bridge thing a couple of times. It is way harder than I thought. I crashed every time. :(

For clarification, that's the real Paul Mantz... Google him. Not our own Flymagic, who is a legend in his own right.

I just tried it, using a noob plane since the wingspan is shorter. Nada. Will need to try different airspeeds to see if it helps with nose-up or level angle of attack. I either hit the ceiling or catch the ground. Will keep trying.

Clearly this is Noush's way to make everyone else load up on Crash stats! But it's irresistible!

I tried it, but the wing of my E decker hit the side of the hangar and I got stuck. Had to autodestroy. It's a hard challenge Noushbag, but I'll take it. :silly: Have you guys tried to get into the little building at the end of the bridge?

Ok, here's what I discovered. This is almost impossible. The plane barely fits but I think with a perfect speed and the agility of a surgeon its doable. How about first person to pull it off gets a bump up by everyone participating? Unless its me, then I would like a bump down please :woohoo: in the mean time, happy crashings :blink:

Yeah, the building by the bridge was conquered long ago. You can get in there flying diagonally, just do a search for bridge building for the pics.

I ran into Axios yesterday. He said he changed his name after I questioned him. Didnt get his roster name.

Can the hangar stunt be done in practice mode to eliminate crashes?

You mean you've been trying this, the most diabolical challenge ever conceived on real missions?

Good Try, but No. Goal is to fly through it completely. Like I said before, it's damn near impossible. I parked the plane under to get a scale of the clearance. The wing tips are probably just inches away from touching the sides and this is perfectly centered. In order to clear it, you have to do one of two things:

A) Fly millimeters off the ground, perfectly centered, with perfect speed
B) Get the "Perfect Landing" and clear away.

Incase you haven't experienced it, the "Perfect Landing" is when you land in such a manner, where there is 0 bounce, 0 wiggle, nothing but pure tarmac. When you achieve this, you don't even have to wait for the plane to slow down to brake, you can brake immediately to a full stop without the fear of nose diving (whether on a carrier or base)

I think this is one of Zups rewards. This happens to me maybe once every 10-20 landings, still not sure what I'm doing to land it this way but I know you have to be going at a moderate speed.

Anyways, if you can land it perfectly, you will not bounce and you can clear the hanger, then take off via touch and go. Make sure to have the top gun soundtrack playing in the background.

Alright, I talked to my dad, who flys model airplanes, he says you drop throttle for a good landing. This I have been doing my entire Dogfight experience. For carriers or anywhere else I have never gotten the perfect landing because I'm in too much of a rush. I guess you have to be just barely off the bottom of the throttle to clear. Cpt., I'm sending you a PM for yours and MOMs saftey.

Thanks JD, nice crashes. I think that plane has the widest wingspan so maybe not the best choice. Try the red Barron

Jd, thanks for the pm, forgot I bumped up the second baddest dude here (after me) couple hours ago but you have my next karma. Keep up the good work son ;)
