macelena Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 What went wrong? i mean, besides landing a little hard, why did he need to land this way? Quote
+Gr.Viper Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Picture the pilot going "Weeeeeeeeee!" while sliding. Quote
+JediMaster Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 He came in REAL hot with too much descent fpm and the exhausts were full aft. Normally they slow way down and angle those things like 45 degrees down for a short landing. I don't know what the failure was because the gear and flaps were down as normal, so I wouldn't guess it was hydraulic failure. Perhaps some engine-related problem where the throttle was stuck? Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 From what I have read..the nozzles got stuck in the wrong position Quote
+hgbn Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 The most important thing was, he was able to eject safely... Bet the flight suit needed a cleaning afterwards. Quote
