Jim,

I've told you before that thinking can be dangerous! Best left to the experts I've found.

I know of at least 1 Tornado F3 and 2 Hawks that were intentionally landed wheels up after undercarriage failures. The were all onto runways and were flown at a faster than normal approach to reduce the nose high attitude that JF discussed. In all cases a few aerials were replaced and the paint touched up and the jets were back flying.

However, the case of "dead-sticking" with no engine would be a whole different kettle of fish... as we have discussed previously.

Regards
