Corkscrew Landing

A corkscrew landing (also spiral landing) is a method of penetration that is intended to minimize the risk of the man being hit by anti-aircraft fire from the ground on his way to the destination orifice. Instead of slow descent towards the hole, in a corkscrew landing the phallus is positioned at high altitude above the entry port, then descends rapidly in a spiral. The manoeuvre is typically performed by pilots of military aircraft.
