This is one cool dude flying this F15 ….he had an engine fire that would not
extinguish….touched down at about 300 knots (should be touching down at about
140) and rather than crash off the end of the runway, he ejected….with the
aircraft on the ground. The only indication of his trepidation is an increase
in
his breathing rate. His trusty wingman is there for him with immediate aid
and much needed information. What you are looking at the the HUD (Head up
display). For those of you reading this who are pilots, …..ever landed at 300
kts???
Another comment:
This is an interesting scenario of an F-15 with a fire in the right engine
bay. The pilot shuts down the engine, but the fire continues. He decides to
try to save the airplane and land at Whiteman. You can see the airspeed and
altitude tapes in the HUD and listen to his conversation. He touches down at
high speed but can't get it stopped and ejects about 1000 feet from the
departure
end of the runway. The pilot is very professional in handling this
emergency, although I am not sure I would have stayed with it as long as he
did. Check
the rate of respiration and the fact that the camera and some cockpit
information systems seem to be still working after the aircraft finishes
crashing . He
gets the message about bingo" fuel after all the parts have stopped moving .
Notice the grass after it stops.
