It's a newer plane than we fly, but hey, it's still a fighter.

Check out this film.

Those guys handeled that like pros. Anyone know what plane it was? Surprised things like that don't happen more often on tkaeoffs/landings.

From the pitot on the nose, looked like a 2 seat F16.

Wow... birds are obviously under modeled in AH. Good work on the team getting the plane to an empty field.

I think that may have been a British Jaguar

Hey DaYooper I see you are in Alaska but use the name DaYooper.

Where are you from in the U.P?

Escanaba here!

I grew up in Houghton. Graduated in '82.

Heck, I have friends in Grayling. Small world, ain't it?

What puzzled me was that while all the "live" voices I heard were transatlantic (I have a hard time telling some Canadian and some American accents apart); the AI warning recording of "Gear not down!" was very clearly British.

That would rule out any F16 or F18; and what would a Yank be doing in a Jaguar??

I think it was a Navy T-45 Goshawk.
