The landing speed is 150 knots (see http://earlesairports.com). The landing zone, at 28,870 ft (8,800 m) just below the summit, does not exist in the real world. From videos and photographs of the summit, it is apparent that the landing zone is a artifact of Google Earth, and not a natural feature. The altitude is too high for a normal takeoff and the F-16 slides down Everest after landing.
