On the weekend, I joined a game, with red over my base, took off, I dropped my bomb and started to defend. Once the base was safe I landed to rearm, but came in too hard. Usually when you start to flip, you just end up upside-down, but I fought the flip hard and then my plane stopped moving!

I'd executed my first tail landing!

I did try to take off again, I got in the air, but pulled back too hard and crashed,

Saw the title and thought one of my girlfriends found DF...scared me.

So, you're new name is HAMMER_TAIL! The Shark! Nope, that's hammer-head.

Never mind.

Great pic!

Very nice, that pic should be on the circus thread too!

I was checking my DF logbook the other day:

50,000 take offs but only 30,000 landings. I can't figure why they arent equal numbers, hmmmmmmm.
