I haven't seen these pop up here yet ... so here you go smile.gif

Take one harrier ... with landing gear which won't go down ... how to land ? well it can let itself down gently, we just need something soft for it to land on ...

Shame about the plane, but honestly, whose dumbass idea was that ????? Obviously someone who's led a very sheltered life and never spotted anyone moving house driving up the motorway and seen what a mere 80 km/h breeze can do !

one way to put a harrier to bed ... but really would have be cheaper to gently put on any flat area (grass or tarmac).... skin , engine , skin , engine ... sure its cheaper with a bitta skin damage .. as for the ground crew lying on the ground checking the damage ...... that was his mattress , he had to sleep there that night laugh.gif

I bet those mattresses stuffed the internals of the engines.
