I understand that the aircraft suffered some sort of 'tail scrape' but this in no way reduces my admiration for the feat achieved in getting it back on the ground at all! My guess is that AOA was too high/airspeed too low; did he even know what the correct speed was?! Even experienced Lightning pilots were known to scrape the tail, never mind OC the MU! Well done Sir!
