08 May 1975 01568 YF-16A Comments:
Belly landed on a grass area next to the runway at Carswell AFB, Texas. Aircraft was only slightly damaged, but never flew again. It was scheduled to appear at the Paris air show but due to the mishap the first prototype was sent.

Good subject; poor video quality. Most of the films were shot using old-fashioned equipment, sometimes over exposed and washed out, under great vibration. The film and tapes were not that good quality when I got them and over the decades age and EM has deteriorated them some, and some quality was lost digitizing the recordings.

This real thing, not Hollyweird.

Most of the montage footage I posted is available, that has been better stored and has been enhanced and edited using high-end professional equipment and a lot of time. They have done an excellent job in restoring much of the footage

The footage is in different order and has different music, however it has much of the same footage.

There is a digital preview available at the link. I am not affiliated with the web site.

"

I get a laugh out of that also. It must be a civilian contractor, uncover SP or military personal using their person vehicle.

DANG is that a helmet that rolls by at 1:17? I think it was/

[ATFSCrash]

Floatsforlife: That's what I thought it possibly was or worse when I first saw it. However I'm pretty sure it's a piece of debris from the aircraft. I heard from a pretty good source that he was fairly sure the pilot survived. However he wasn't positive, he may have mixed up some other mishaps.

Did the B52 pilot get the DFC for that outstanding landing?

[ATFSCrash]

Good question. I don't know. Perhaps someone else does.

Funny how it happened over Colorado in 1964 when by your own admission of age you would have been 6. Damn youngest crew chief ever or did the SAM hit so hard it blew you into a different time and country?

[myrmecia1977]

Notice you never got a reply from the bs artist

[Tata996]

Haha. I love the 80's music that accompanies these videos.

If I was the F-14 pilot, I'd be getting the hell away from the fuel. I would have thought there'd be a chance of it catching fire, but I'm sure the pilot knows more about it than I do. :)

3:11 QF-102 drone remote piloted for missle target practice they crash alot of them

[atom2009]

I heard the test pilot say (On tv show "wings) that the landing gear would not deploy so instead of tearing up the test aircraft he decided to land in the grass and he even shut down the engine to prevent it from injesting FOD

The song is "Playin With the Boys" by Kenny Loggins.

[vipondiu]

[dleedom1]

Mountain wave turbulence caused that.
