F-16 Runway Overrun at Oshkosh
An F-16 rolled off the end of Runway 36 at Wittman Regional Airport after landing about 11:40 a.m. Thursday. The aircraft did what appeared to be a normal landing with a high alpha rollout, but it failed to stop, and it appears the nosegear was collapsed when it hit the grass. In the accompanying photos, the engine nozzle appears to be in the fully open position during the landing roll, and a small fire can be seen in the aircraft's tailpipe after it stops. The photos were taken by AVweb… (www.avweb.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Callsign was "Bama 11" landed on 36L? I thought 36L was a closed down runway? Someone on LiveATC posted the Tower communication during the incident.
Engine nozzle didn't deploy in reverse position ?
Airclaxon:
F-16's do not have Reverse Thrust as most fighters

Sorry
As like most fighters do not have Reverse thrust is what I tried to say in my 1st post

Robert glad to see you still out there... I know you have seen it, but the report is out on 447 and the blame goes to the pilots, whom they admitted had not had current training on HAND FLYING the airplane.....what! I guess AF is taking the flying away from the pilots.
There's only one runway 36 at Wittman. It's also the longest runway, 8000ft. Do they have a displaced threshold while the airshow is on?
