F-111 crash landing in Australia
Hi
Member nustyR linked this interesting movie:
An investigation into Australia’s F-111 aircraft begins on Wednesday July 18th, after the 26-strong fleet was grounded following an emergency landing in Brisbane by one of the ageing strike fighters.The aircraft made a belly landing at the RAAF Amberley base west of Brisbane about 2.10pm (AEST) on Tuesday after losing a wheel on takeoff.After circling the air base near Ipswich for almost three hours to burn off excess fuel, the jet came in to land, creating a plume of sparks as it slid on its belly along the tarmac.The 29-year-old pilot had only graduated from the F-111 training course two weeks ago, but his 32-year-old crew member is considered one of the most experienced F-111 navigators.
Enjoy!
