U.S. F18 crash landing at BAH Rwy 12

[SpazSinbad]

Sorry to hear about that 'Machinbird'. With minimal information so far I'll add a quote from USN about the above accident (I understand 'mishap' is the term but....):

"...“An F/A-18E of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 146 assigned to the USS Nimitz (CVN 68) departed the runway and the pilot ejected during an emergency landing at Bahrain International Airport Aug. 12, 2017.

“During a flight from the Nimitz, an F/A-18E experienced an engine malfunction and attempted to divert to Sheik Isa Air Base, Bahrain. Unable to make it to Isa, the pilot was forced to make an emergency landing at Bahrain International Airport. Due to the malfunction, the aircraft could not be stopped on the runway and the pilot ejected from the aircraft as it departed the runway...." https://news.usni.org/2017/08/12/nim...-safe-ejecting

Without explaining why and knowing the 'engine malfunction' here is a quote from the FnA18EFNatox:

"...7.8.1 After Landing. Do not taxi with the right engine shut down, as normal brakes and NWS are not available...." https://info.publicintelligence.net/F18-EF-000.pdf (19.5Mb)
