I've seen a lot of things thru the years at Oshkosh, but during my lunch yesterday, this one took the cake. 2 F-16's came in doing some passes with lot's of afterburner and such. Well, only the first one. The second plane was being flown a little timid. We kept saying "it must be his first time here".
Then they came in to land. The first guy lands great and goes by nice and slow heading up 36 towards the warbird area. Then the second guy comes in. I looked at my friends and said "He's going WAY to fast. Does he pull back up? Nope.
The following pictures tell the rest of the story.

Then to top that off, during the jet warbird show, the world's only flying FJ-4 Fury does the same thing!!!! Except with better results. He looked ok even though he went off too. After that, they weren't allowing any airshow acts to land on 36L. They could take off on 18R, but that was it.
What a day. Actually, what a past 4 days. Heading back down this morning too for the "Big" warbird show. Hopefully, there'll be less misshaps.
