I did question the legitimacy and mention the stupid thread! It also mentioned the fake underneath. Thought it was pretty cleverly done though. No wash on the water, but the shadow was quite good as was the rest of it. Used to "fall" off the end of strips all the time bought back a few real nightmare moments.

On the opposite end of a flight, on my F3 course, we had a USN exchange pilot. So quite used to landing on short runways. When he landed short of the 2750m runway, and the wheels hit the lip, he didn't half get shit. On a carrier it would have taken the undercarriage off, with nothing before that. Thankfully the undershoot was tarmac, it just put a massive G bump on the aircraft - and wrote off both engines

@voodoo a while back I was working for the council and some of the old maps and records they have were awesome.
One in particular that always stuck with me was a map of a peice of land along with a detailed list of what was 'paid' for the sale of the land (tobacco, gun powder, blankets etc) only for the land to be claimed back a couple of decades later, and then sold again for more tobacco, gun pwder etc

Back in the 1930's someone talked to old Maori and put together a map of Auckland with its original place names and geography
A decent number of those managed to hang around until present day.
