F-18 Emergency Landing - 04-07-2006, 05:21 PM


This guy from VMFA-115 out of Beaufort, SC landed today minus hydrolics. It made an arrest cable landing in order to stop. . . . I pulled up right after it had landed. . .

Good photos, I watched this guy come in. Was shooting documentation photos from a helicopter of the new construction out at the plant. We were holding at about 500' on the west side of the runway over White Settlement waiting until he landed.
