An A-10C assigned to the 104th Fighter Squadron, Maryland Air National Guard, lands at Mud Lake on the Nevada Test and Training Range, November 29, 2011. The pilots landed on an unimproved dirt runway during the day and night as a part of continuing training through the U.S. Air Force Weapons School.

OK, you're on.





Once, I did do a wheels up no weps on a runway and walked away. I wonder if landing on a railroad track would be better in an emergency?

Well dirt and unimproved runways are different things. If you tried to put a Hog down in a corn field the results wouldn't be good I'd have to think!

Land on a dirt road with power lines above.


I lost the front wheel, too - next time I'll hold the nose higher instead of taking pictures.
