F-16 at the 2010 Gateway Jet Rally. The pilot ("Hornitpilot") managed a successful landing despite a problem with the gear. The right rear would not extend fully.

  • yes that is me you did a awesome job vgetting it on video looks GREAT thanks for shairing

  • @hornitpilot You're welcome! I was just telling my buddy that I was kicking myself for not getting vid of what it looked like after the landing. You can't tell at all in this video.

    BTW, the camera is a cheap Insignia. I didn't realize how sensitive it is to sound from me touching the camera and screen. Ugh!

  • @hornitpilot Oh, and good job landing that thing!

see all

  • @jcabb1 The navy considered it but they are unsuitable for carriers, The navy likes two engine planes, the landing gear is not strong enough for repeated landings, The nosewheel is too close to the inlet so it's a hazard for crews. The f-17 (which became the f-18 hornet) lost a competition to the f-16 for the airforce but was found to be suitable for Carrier use with some modifications.

  • How is it this can fly nice but the real plane needs fly by wire? is it because the CG is far forward on this RC compared to the real jet?

  • wer cud i get 1 of them

    

  • AWESOME!!!

    

  • howcome they never use f16 on aircraft carriers???

  • What would've been really cool if there were arresting cables and the F16 caught one with its tail-hook.....Damn that would be epic!!!

  • Bob just greased that baby right in and the sound is mental on that turbine ;-) oh i don't want to for get the great flight too,thanks for sharing = thumbs up mate.
