F-16 of the Danish Air Force fell to the North Sea

Information Agency France-Presse publishes material on the crash of the F-16 aircraft of the Danish Air Force. The article says that the American-made fighter fell into the North Sea, the pilot managed to make a bailout. Now the life of the Danish soldier is not in danger - a rescue helicopter picked him up.

According to preliminary data, the incident occurred due to a faulty chassis.

In the Danish Air Force, X-NUMX F-30 fighters are in service. In connection with the incident, it was decided to suspend flights on these vehicles and conduct a thorough investigation into the causes of the crash.

The official representative of the Ministry of Defense of Denmark, Colonel Rex told the media that the plane crash occurred during the exercise. Information Agency TASS quotes a statement from Danish Colonel Rex:

The car had a problem with the chassis, and the attempt to carry out the landing was considered too dangerous. A decision was made to control the pilot’s ejection.

The crash site of the Danish Air Force aircraft is the waters to the west of the island of Rømø in the North Sea. It is reported that the aircraft "partially sank."

The car is good but apparently old, the Americans have already released a new version that is completely modernized.

Yeah, they just upgraded the same old F-16s. With an airframe and engine, on average, twenty years ago.

Aircraft F-16A Block 20 MLU onboard RDAF E-070, this is the former USAF 83070 F-16A Block 15Q machine built by General Dynamics.

Everything that flies is not guaranteed against a fall ... It happens. The pilot did not die and gloriously.

And to sit on the belly - it was weak

... you have time)))
Yes, ours are put on the ground in case of chassis failure

On the F-16 ?! Do you know that not all planes allow this action, due to their design features?

So he sat down. Into the water. It is indicated that the aircraft "partially sank." Well done pilot, really.

Would you be a pilot, yourself could sit on your belly?

How do you imagine this with such a loaf of air intake like the F-16?
This is what happens on solid ground. What will be on the water?

One minus that pleases.

[remy]

The F-16 is a medium fighter with one (1) engine!
IMHO: a fighter for the "poor" - he had no chance! Heavy all the same!
- when the engine fails, the speed drops below the landing speed almost instantly
- there is an instant stall of the air flow from the wing
- stalling a fighter in a "dive"

[Rurikovich]

"Guided bailout" ...
Uncontrollable is when you climb out yourself ... Probably ...
And the managed, probably, is when you are endured ...
For some reason, it seemed to me the opposite

[BLOND]

there is an automatic pilot ejection, it was used on deck aviation (the "command" was issued with a combination of several parameters ... a large roll angle at a low horizontal speed of the aircraft, etc.)

[PlotnikoffDD]

Why is the liberal public not indignant that "they" have something falling every day?

It is not the only one, there are still wing and fuel, in such cases, they are pre-generated. In fact, the F-16 can land on its belly. Maybe the pilot was inexperienced or simply deceived.

------------------
If it sits this way, then you need to burn the fuel, but the less fuel, the greater the likelihood of fire, since the formation of an air-fuel mixture, which actually burns ... In general, well, nafig, a pilot for discharge, a plane for scrap ...

Dear Stanislav, this fuel tank is called an air intake. And many colleagues are right, an airplane with a fuselage arrangement of an air intake on the belly is practically impossible to land.

Something like this, colleague, will be more accurate.

[bmv04636]

The pilot did not die and all right, but the fact that planes fall sometimes.

“Fima, do you know the difference between disaster and disaster?”
- Shaw for the question, of course!
- Can you formulate it?
- Well, imagine - Aunt Tsilya fell ill. Trouble?
- The trouble ...
“But isn't it a disaster?”
- Not...
- But imagine - Tymoshenko and Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk flew to Washington, the plane crashed and crashed. Catastrophe?
- A disaster.
“But it doesn’t matter?” A.

But people do not die and do not maim!

I like the F-16, a beautiful plane. Chinese and flu will leave him and be swept away
