He is one lucky guy, good job on catching the cable with his hook.

"He had a gear failure, the left main gear would collapse (it came out but didnt lock in place, so nue "green light"). The other F-15 trailed the landing Eagle as you can see. Thats the common procedure! These F-15s belong to the United States Airforce PACAF".

Good thing nothing more serious happened.

 

It caught my attention that at some point the jet's left wing made contact with the ground and caused the plane to get drawn off the runway, but only after the plane had slowed down considerably. My guess is that the pilot pushed the stick hard to the right as soon as he was on the ground so as to stop the left wing from dragging on the runway as long as possible. But when he slowed down the lift wasn't enough and gravitation pulled the wing down onto the ground. Does that make any sense at all? :lol:

 

Must have been a really rough ride.
