Colin S Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'd like to ask the eyes of those with vaster knowledge of aviation than I what they think of the following items: What in heaven's name is this? And this? (Please don't say de-icing, this is Hawaii) Thanks ahead of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They practice "hitting the wire" using a non-floating-and-bobbing runway first. =)Thank you. Chris, do you know how I could model the physics of this? Are there any codes for this (and if there are how do you use them I have no experience whatsoever in programming beyond "Hello World.exe" Maybe the designers just make those to make the airport look more cool or complicated... jokes....but thats one super high resolution imagery i see Can't wait to finish it.

Teddit Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 And this? (Please don't say de-icing, this is Hawaii) Thanks ahead of time I have seen this at a military airbases in Australia. Where they role ACF into and crank the water up. More over, I have seen helos hover above it and land, possibly simulating landing under extreme wet conditions.Crazy.
