Post amazingly cool pictures of aircraft (Volume 2)

[MartG]

Just an example of how the media appear to be totally unable to Google a picture of the correct type of aircraft for a news release...



It's actually a Taiwanese Ching Kuo

Well they can google IDF, they just take the first wrong result they get.

IDF = Israel Defence Force
IDF= Indigenous Defence Fighter (Taiwan)

you'd imagine that it'd be harder to find a picture of one of those than an F16?

[MartG]

The Israeli F-16I Sufa is quite distinctive...

Remarkably similar line up.

Why there are two aircraft with A on the tail in the previous pic of the lineup - two different squadrons aircraft are present...

It may have been BBMF - they used to be based at RAF Coltishall, I believe at the same time as the Lightnings.

By the two down at the far end that aren't lined up properly, or by the idiot who couldn't get them parked in alphabetical order? ;-)

Wont be the first or the last. Used to work on Hercs and one of the pilots still flying them landed one with the undercarriage up. I bet it happens a lot more often than its reported.

I do find it odd (but then I have only ever flown fixed gear aircraft) that it seems to happen so often especially on the bigger hardware like Hercs as the vast majority of these aircraft have a gear warning horn normally triggered if the gear is still retracted in certain configurations, i.e. landing configuration, reduced throttle settings. Do the crews just ignore these horns? or become so flustered they forget "when in doubt go-around" is one of the things that was drummed into me before I even did my first solo.

Perhaps the warning system wasn’t working perhaps there was fatigue, stress, complacency, lack of fuel, poor adherence to procedures, other issues.

It’s usually a few factors together that lead to an accident like this.

Was searching for something & Google threw one of these up in the results:
