Bit of Excitement !

The first sortie I watched this afternoon had five jets taking off! However, there was a problem with Red 3. Their lagging gear was stuck in the down position. So he went round to far side of the airfield & flew about for a while & then came down . On landing there were two fire engines & an ambulance that chased after him. All precautionary I suppose. It looked as if everything was ok though.
Local sources reported last week that one of them couldn’t get the landing gear down to land. These planes are now getting old, I wonder when, or if, they will be replaced!
I'm glad he landed safely, lovely capture

Great collage of this event, which could have had an unhappy outcome.

Great collage. We watch Air Disasters on the Smithsonian Channel and it’s amazing how many things have to work perfectly on a plane for it to fly.

Would have been great to watch

Bet the pilot was pleased to be on Terra firma.

The planes are so old now, I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often.

That must be an awesome action to see: those planes taking off and doing their stuff in the air. I'd love that
