August 22, 20232 yr The AF needs to stop this "abundance of caution" BS. In this instance, the abundance of caution was the driving force in moving the aircraft from the runway. I'm sure the MX guys were happy that they could sit back and watch caution do the work. Mentioned twice in the same article, just absurd. The second WTF from that article was the photos were from a facebook page. AF needs to find that douche and put him on every night and weekend duty until he learns his lesson. Finally, neither main gear door is open. Not sure how a hard landing would cause not only both MLG to collapse but also the doors to retract. I suppose landing on the center line tank and nose gear could be deemed a "hard landing". Maybe the dude started to go around, pulled up the gear, and then hit (unlikely since the NG seems to be fully down). Otherwise there is more to this story than a bad landing.

August 22, 20232 yr Seems like whoever was in the back seat of the family model touched something he shouldn't have.

Especially with the center line bag, the nose gear would have been more protected than the MLG and more likely to retract/collapse on landing roll since it moves up and back.

Yeah, there is a throttle and flight controls also. Maybe the backseater took off on the taxiway and slammer er' back down. That's possible too.
