ANG F-15 into Canal, Oregon, 5/15, no injuries

Well, no funeral, so that’s good. Not necessarily anything to do with the pilot coming up short, listed as an instructor also.

I’ve had two related events flying in the military. Once I landed & one side was locked solid. It quickly blew the tire them proceeded to grind the metal wheel down.

The other time I had a ‘hyper-extended’ strut. The one side was way high, reasons at this moment escape me. Besides no WOW activation, there was the slight angle of bank while on the runway.

Both incidents were rather troublesome, could of easily ended worse.

Thinking back I know of planes trashed, pilots killed with such. Klamath Falls is a nice airport, the only thing I may wonder about is if much crosswind was involved?
