Still Got What It Takes - Hornet Skills !!!

Still have the skills required to nail an almost perfect carrier trap with my 2 seater F/A-18F Super Hornet. Took a few shots from a different perspective just before touchdown - had the approach, flare and angle nearly perfect.

This of course is the freeware Super Hornet by Daisuke Yamamoto, with a VFA-203 repaint by Mike Mahat. Carrier scenery from Flightdeck III by Abacus software. Enjoy! ................... Mike :-)

Nice,
Have you seen the new Super Hornet comming out in Feb?
I think the company is called VRS. Might have to do a search for it.
Looks to be well worth the fortune it's going to cost!

Awesome shots Mike, great touchdown! :)

Hello All! First post here, although I've been peeking in on this forum for years. I'm gonna have to start contributing one of these days. I've been into FS Videos mainly...but the bar in that hobby has been ratcheted up so high lately (See Smoke On video), I think it will be a while before I release another one!

Nice pics Mike, nice looking trap, still love that Super Hornet.

Five wires? I thought there were only four on carriers...could be wrong.

Nice trap. I'll give you the okay pass this time, but try and hit the three wire next time.

Haha, nice shots man, love the Hornet - give me five years and I'll be in the cockpit of one of those bad boys if everything goes like I hope!

Excellant Mike!!!

Merry Christmas...

The elusive 3 wire is always my aim within FS9 - due to the limitations of the sim, this can be very hard to do! Thanks gentlemen for your ongoing response here. Merry Christmas to all! ;)

great suff mike! i love carrier ops too, am constantly upgrading and downloading re same. i find that some planes are far easier to trap than others. the razbam buckeye is my newest, might do a post with it soon. happy holidays!

Agreed my friend, not the easiest of feats - even in real life! Great work nonetheless.
