macelena 1,070 Posted October 27, 2011 What went wrong? i mean, besides landing a little hard, why did he need to land this way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JediMaster 451 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?

+hgbn 91 Posted October 27, 2011 The most important thing was, he was able to eject safely... Bet the flight suit needed a cleaning afterwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
