HU&W Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 The wings still look like they're in excellent condition. I'm sure they'll have the plane rebuilt and flying within the next couple years.
stract Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 except that the right one appears to be missing the inboard flap

DirkDiggler Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Glad everyone ended up making it through, rule of threes had another mishap coming, happy that last two ended with code 1 personnel
Milchstrasse Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Here's an update: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2015/02/20/near-miss-this-f-16-landed-after-half-its-wing-was-sheared-off/ Edited February 20, 2015 by Milchstrasse
BE36 Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Wow that's an impressive image. Im glad both pilots made it back safe.
SurelySerious Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Nbd Thought this was the WTF thread for a second.
matmacwc Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 The difference is the T-38 wing fell off by itself.
sky_king Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I thought that was a BFM tactic. Like a lizard that can shed its tail to distract a predator. 3
Joey Freshwater Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) nbd: Yeah, but could the 15 have done it single engine though? Edited February 22, 2015 by Gus Chiggins
NUKE Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 The real question is why would you want to fly on a single engine? 1 4
ViperStud Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 The real question is why would you want to fly on a single engine? To be relevant in combat for the past 15 years. 4 1
Milchstrasse Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Last week: Who needs two wings when you have high thrust to weight, and lots of rudder authority. 1
schokie Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 To be relevant in combat for the past 15 years. Hah! That's rich. Impressive airmanship though.
Sprkt69 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 nbd: That Israeli pilot never flew again. Actually got asked to leave the force
Prosuper Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Dude, I'm getting out! https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-suffolk-31513257
ShavedDogsAss Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Dude, I'm getting out!https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-suffolk-31513257 Sounds like calm SA enhancing comm. As someone who was left to BFM a dude under chute, any skulls up comm is good, but not required.
