I never said I was good at LANDING!

This is Miles Calamity, my SecondLife avatar. I've wanted a biplane for him ever since I joined, and finally saved up the L$ for it. This is Miles and his brand new Stearman PT-17 in a lake in a residential area about 30 seconds after take-off. Fail, Miles. FAIL.

lol, the caption along with the pic amused me quite a bit, sorry for laughing at your fail =P

It's okay, I laughed too XD A lot. Especially when Jei came online and her avatar tried to push the plane out of the lake and instead just rolled it over and submerged it completely ^^;;

Awwww, poor Miles.

Eh, it's par for the course really. Any avatar based (even loosely) on Tails is going to experience many crash landings in their time.

LOL nice.
I gambled my L$, then spent the winnings on sex toys just because I could.

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

There's SO many sex-themed objects on SL XD;;

[chocomookielove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've collected some pretty freaky pieces!

It's a good and hilarious money sink for internet money that I've never actually spent a dime on LOL. I just signed up for some spam for L$100 when I first started and just keep gambling it whenever I might need more.

I couldn't see the pilot at first, so I'd assumed that your SL avatar was a biplane that somehow walked upon its nose.

I don't know whether it's by accident or design, but the colors remind me of the versions of the Tornado from the Sonic Adventure games and Heroes.

Speaking of bad landings, I did find it rather odd that Tails and Knux leaped out of a moving plane at the beginning of Heroes. I can't imagine that it didn't slam into a mountain at some point, unless it had some sort of automated landing program installed into it.

You have to admit, though, showing it slamming into a mountain and Tails not even batting an eye about it would have been funny as hell. XD

Tails doesn't care about landings. Heck, he probably intentionally doesn't bother because if he crashes he knows he can just build a new one :P I mean, he's forgotten on occasion to even INSTALL landing gear XD He's like "Landing? What's that? Ohh... right.".

It would have been even funnier if he smiled about it.XD "Oh, pretty explosion!"

I guess when you can conjure up anything out of a few scraps, you can afford to be careless about some things.XD

Favre: That is not how seaplanes are supposed to work.

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

It's not? :( Dang.

Ok, flight school 101: To land on water you need a floatplane :P

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

I need to learn how to land. At all. XD

[chocomookielove.livejournal.com]

So did you ever figure out how to actually fly the plane?
