Good, but not great landing.

This would be a good landing, (since the plane can't be used again) All aboard
looked to have survived.

Wow!

Hubbell listed two URLs in his post.

The first was photo of a burned aircraft gear up in the 'weeds'.

Second was news article about the Lear.

I just identified the F-16 photo since it was so badly burned that
about only thing you could use to identify was the tail in planform
view.

John... That was a photo of the Lear... Here is a better link to the same
photo. It does look like a F16 though.

I'll stand in the corner and accept my 20 lashes.

That's what I get for jumping to conclusions because the media almost
always gets it wrong (

Yeah, but the photo doesn't look like anything Lear ever built.

If you're not part of the solution, you can make a lot of money prolonging
the problem.

It was the angle...I saw a shot taken from helicopter from above and in
front it was a Lear.

Yeah, as soon as someone pointed out that the T-tail had toppled, I could see
it.

I saw the article first so I knew but yeah I can see how it could like an F-16
at first look.


Just to remind myself of an F-16 I went looking and found this:
(that's a stout nose gear)
