Talk about a rough landing: "A Royal Air Force top gun crash-landed a new $136.3 million Typhoon fighter — apparently after forgetting to put the wheels down during a training exercise in California." http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,353665,00.html

Glad I won't be on the flight safety investigation.  At least the pilot made it out okay.

I am glad to hear the crew walked away from this.

Now I am curious, which took more damage;  the aircraft, or the pilots' next "PER".  >

I guess that was the smoke I saw on the horizon here!

Good to see the pilot came out ok, but what a "D'oh!" moment.
