That would be one of my better AH landings... he even had the gear down! :old:

I hate the term " fighter jet".

Why?

Russian pilot.
Nuff said.
-
flawless landing.

Would have been stylish if he hadn't of gotten too slow and ham-fisted the rollout causing the sink rate and bounce.
We practice a continuous turn to short final/roundout/flare for flameout approaches, but that's an emergency procedure. We do it enough to get good at it but the vast majority of our landings are lower risk approaches with a roll-out on final around 1/2 mile or more from the touch down point. Airspeed control is critical.

Because there haven't been any prop aircraft in the fighter role since Korea?

I thought there was in counter-drug-smuggling ops in South America.
I immediately thought of the guy who pretended to drunkenly hijack a biplane that was linked here before.

Latest air to air kill video I saw was a turboprop chasing down a drug smuggler in S. America just over treetop height. Short bursts of .50 and the druggie finally spun into the trees.

But there are other jets, and other fighters...
If you do a google image seach for "fighter" most results will not be jet fighters, but something like this:

For a "Naval Aviator" :bolt: Sorry guys, saw the cheapshot..couldn't resist :rofl

I wonder what happens when I google image search "trash?"...
Oh, right.

:P

The Russian pilot should give lessons to this F-16 pilot.

A long, straight line with slow descent rate makes for an awesome landing.
Why the -35 comes in roughly 90 degrees off the runway, no idea. As for the -16,
boo

Looks like he maybe lost hydraulics / brakes. Since it's a civilian field there is no net / aresting equipment to catch him.... so going off the runway is only thing he could do.
-
I think he just got schooled on physics to tell you the truth... seemed like he came in super confident, and got a lucky bop in the head on how dangerous it really is to land a several thousand pound metal machine...

quote from the text on the F16:
...cockpit fogging, pilot lost visibility. The aircraft's ventilation system failed and condensation formed during the final approach (that can happen rapidly during a jet descent). It also explains why the airbrakes wereot deployed: he was distracted just getting the plane down.

That's kinda harsh. :eek: True, but harsh... :neener:
-
So the implication is that as long as it's not a fighter jet it's a perfectly good way to land?

I think you have to take some geography lessons. Royal Air Force Waddington is a Royal Air Force station located 4.2 miles south of Lincoln, Lincolnshire and 13.3 miles north east of Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, England.
That is ~4800km from Canada. :eek:
For those still using the archaic system, that is ~3000mi.

Canaduh=Englands Biatches.
Same country, different locations.

A more accurate headline would be "Plane spotters stand dangerously close to approach end of runway during normal F-16 approach and landing".
