Dead-stick landing

A flamed-out F-16, with its stubby quite nice wings and lifting-body fuselage, makes a no-engine, emergency landing in this video shot through the jet’s heads-up display, as you listen, in suspense, to the pilot’s breathing between radio calls.

  1. Yeah. It was quite impressive.

    Quite an impressive plane, all around, the so-called “lightweight fighter” that a group of Pentagon mavericks finagled the Air Force into building back in the 1970s.
