Rookie's perfect belly-flop sends sparks flying
An RAAF F-111 had to carry out a belly landing in Queensland after its left main wheel fell off shortly after take off on Tuesday.
The young pilot has just completed his F-111 conversion course only two weeks ago. Circling for hours to burn fuel, senior F-111 pilots used a simulator to determine what happens when the fighter lands with its wheels up and gave the young pilot instructions on how to land.
The incident happened at Amberley air base near Brisbane.
