That's one of the best emergency landings I've ever seen. Huge creds to both the pilots and the RAAF!

How much would it suck to be the guy who put on the wheel wrong.
-
Made me cringe to watch that landing.
I used to work on the F-111D model.
-
The belly landing is taught in the USAF flight school but not in the RAAF,
-
What a superb landing. The cable was an excellent idea :D I'm glad the were able to walk away and even save the bird.

@ab9957 They were all retired from last year, the RAAF brought 24 Super Hornets from the US and use them until the F-35s arrived.

great video thanks for uploading

how many F111C jets are flying in Australia now, 2011?

@pencrazypal I quote: "The U.S. FAA no longer recommends pre-foaming runways, chiefly due to concerns that it would deplete firefighting foam supplies which might later be needed to respond to a fire; it is also difficult to determine exactly where a runway should be foamed, and pre-foaming might also reduce the effectiveness of the aircraft's brakes, potentially causing it to slide off the runway."

@wkomar The foam path is still useful for belly landing (november 1st it was used when a jumbo jet landed on belly). If you land on tire...then it is not recommended indeed ;)!

Sounds like Sam Worthington narrating?

@Ironwulf2000 You are correct, it is Sam Worthington.

but.... why they just didn't make a "normal" soft belly landing? I think that bump after catching the cable was pretty hard

@EduEnYT They probably decided it was safer to bring the plane to a stop more quickly. I'm sure the priority was the safety of the pilot and navigator as opposed to the condition of the aircraft.
