I remember that RDAF had an belly-landing with F-16 early after it's introduction....................

Hi Kim,

It's interesting you should mention that! I've got this clip (of an F-16 belly landing) that describes what you said to a T. I'll have to take a look at it though to see if it was a RDAF F-16. I remember I taped the clips off of a TV program when the F-16 was being tested and if I remember correctly I think you could be right, that it could be an early model RDAF F-16.

Thanks

Hi Rapier!
Considering the noted time for Your answar as above, I should have been a little more aware to follow up. I could have gone allmost online! :-)
A small add to what might bee our common belly-landing experience: I'm most impressed of the gentle and very controlled touch-down with the belly - which might bee at least ½ a meter lower than the normal "feeling" of the undercarriage. And all in all done under the stress of the onboard automatic flight controls audible warnings of unset undercarriage!
