And thats why they call him Crazy Craig...

Here are some shots I got the other evening, where I sat at NZOX watching ole' Crazy Craig attempting to land his A320 on the short grass strip:

1. Taking Off


2. Watching the approach from the clubhouse


3. Touchdown


4. Run out of room, have to pull up


5. Trying an approach from the opposite direction


6. Bugger!


7. Little n' Large


After this I had to go offline, but last night I actually witnessed the successful landing when Craig landed it again at NZOX after a full Trans-Tasman flight! Unfortunately I have no screenshots to prove it happened though

Awesome pics.

hahaha
sounds like you've set a challenge to land something bigger, Trolly...

[Craig]

I dont think u`ll get much bigger in without stalling it.

Remeber if the approach is off, go round.

Is it cheating to land a big aircraft if you have set the payload to nothing and the fuel to only 10%?

If not then I can manage to get a 777-300ER in successfully (used the Meljet one). Tried it a few times until I worked out the approach - drag it in just above the stall and just off the waves, drop it down right on the end of the runway and stand on the brakes - HARD

Haven't worked out the multiplayer thing yet, but once (if) I do then I'll repeat the feat online.

Lots of fun!
