Wow!! Flew through something he shouldn’t have maybe? Hopefully he’s all okay🤞
Looked like a Joe Biden landing.
I bet anybody driving along the Richardson Highway was wide eyed.
$85M to $110M per copy makes it an expensive mistake. Thankfully he escaped.
Was a stall at 2000 ft. Jet crashed in a turfed area.
Thanks for posting. Stunning. It fell like a leaf on a windy day. Glad the pilot ejected and survived. I want to know what happened. Suzanne, please follow up as information becomes available.
Lost power. Flight control surfaces were working overtime.didnt help.
How do you know that exactly, Greg?
Watched how it fell… almost like a leaf, not like it had lift or power.
Thanks Morrigan, I figured that this airplane lost power somehow, I just want to know how Greg can definitively state that the flight control surfaces were working at all with a loss of power, considering this thing flies mostly with a computer (which needs power).
I already said what occurred. The pilot was performing routine touch and go maneuvers. Jet lost power at 2000 ft above the deck. Pilot ejected, f35 pancaked into turned area. End of story.
Ground crew response like forest gump. No, gomer pyle.
Ok funny man…. obliviously you do not know anything about emergency response to a crashed aircraft.
Greg what exactly do you want them to do?
Run and get a bed sheet to catch it?
I am making the assumption that the person in the video is a mechanic and the best thing he can do is not get in the way of rescue and fire personnel.
The crew in the video are over on the kc 135 handstands. Greg is clueless. Looks like SD Is slow on moderation today.
Greg, I am increasingly amazed at the depth of your knowledge, whether it’s commenting on the 14th amendment or F-35 flight characteristics you always seem to have a full grasp of the facts. Utterly amazing!
Sure looks like an F-15 to me.
There are no f 15s at eielson.
DEI Jet… ^^^
That is not going to buff out…
CBM – You won the internet today and it’s only 7 a.m. – sd
Glad I could make your day!
Enjoy!
Looks like someone may be losing their restricted area badge. Taking a video is a no-no on the flight line.
Amazing that the pilot escaped uninjured. Someone did something right!
