She did? Really? Well you don't have to share that with us, you know.Yeah, thats what she... Oh nevermind.
two thoughts:
1. I have had students in A4's land like that (can you say pink sheet).
2. When the A6 was initially designed, it was done so with a flap setting called Land Flaps, which was 40 degrees, fuselage mounted speed brakes to act as a modified thrust reverser, and exhausts that slanted slightly down. The idea was that you could land on a carrier without a tailhook. Fortunately, it never saw the light of an operational day, but our A6A's through A6E's (non-TRAM) had the fuselage mounted speed brakes welded shut (the A6 has/had wingtip speed brakes) and all A6 models had Land flaps as a setting, though we landed with "takeoff flaps."

I believe thats with regard to the F-35. Can anyone verify?
Great X-31 vid though... there used to be some great footage of that thing knifing through the sky pulling over 10 Gs doing 180s... anyone have some?
green chevron all the way baby!
