Blagged from another forum, afaik the crew walked away shaken (not stirred)

Bit of T-cut will sort it.

Oh dear, thats not a good image of the supposedly 'next generation' fighter jet. I'm glad the crew weren't hurt though!

Ouch! might cost a few bob to sort that out - won't they have to go over the airframe to check for microfractures and fatigue now?

Can't see it being allowed to be operational without a intesive check. Imagine the stress at 9 g's and if theres a fracture somewhere critical?

^ I know nothing though so Im probably talking rubbish again

with the cost of one'a them i hope that don't happen too often :eek:

I would hate to be the person cleaning the seat after pilot was in there

Bah, they cost next to nothing....

....compared to the USAF F-22 :eek:

Proof that its a rubbish plane i guess - if they cant even get the landing gear to work.

Lada of the skies.

Yes, complete and utter pap. A simple mechanical problem that can happen to any aircraft, but its clearly proof that the Eurofigher is a flying lump of excrement.

http://www.airliners.net/open.file?...FP&photo_nr=6&prev_id=0193201&next_id=0191285 - The 747 is clearly also a load of rubbish seeing as the same thing happened.

wikipedia said:
Intended to be the leading United States advanced tactical fighter in the early part of the 21st century, the Raptor is certainly the most expensive fighter ever. As of April 2005 the total development and production cost of the program is at least $70 billion, and the number of planes to be built has dropped to 180, raising the cost per plane to several hundred million dollars each

omg thats yanks for you i guess

Photobucket never works for me :confused:

I wonder why they came in over tarmac rather than grass?

Because grass is uneven and soft, and could have caused even more damage. The nose could have easily buried itself in the ground which would probably cause the aircraft to be totally destroyed.

pinkacidbootson · 27 Mar 2006 at 19:20

Have you been smoking grass? The pilot must have been

I bet he got a slapped wrist or 2 for messing up
