Carriers can fly too

Browsing the web for Dingo pictures I came a cross this low flying Carrier. How about landing it and the impact

Peter Heres a Kiwi one. There is an Australian forum member who has a wartime shot of his own unique carrier with full air, and Jordan has also posted Canadian airborn carriers.

This must be why they adopted that "Sutton Harness"

Ha! I think I'd want more than a sutton harness, how about being wrapped in a foot thick bubble-wrap.

David, Do you mean dental and medical insurance?

I found when I took my carrier up to it's lofty heights the ride was very smooth at least for the driver. Don't forget you sit very low and you can brace your self against the seat back and steering wheel. That suspension also will take a lot of the impact out of the landing. There is also a difference compared to a wheeled vehicle and once you get used to that and learn to move with it, the carrier is very smooth for the most part. Carriers tend to ride with all front to back movements and next to nothing with a side to side movement. Whereas a 4x4 will rock in every direction.

One of the training videos I cam across showed a carrier going airborne and landing, and all I could think about was how badly injured the occupants were.Man, it looked bad! I'm sure most of you have seen it .
