Does anyone remember the F4 landing at Leuchars attempting to use the Fletcher tanks as undercarriage, circa 1988/9, then lifting again and trying the landing with the U/C down?
It was an OCU jet with Staff pilot and student nav, landing on Easterly runway. Pilot forgot to lower landing gear. Caravan controller 'froze' between making radio call and firing red flare (did neither!), ATC Tower controller shouted "Go around" (or similar) and pilot selected full power. Phantom touched down on underwing tanks then got airborne again with sparks/flames pouring from tanks/engine burner cans. Pilot landed into approach-end cable on short SW'ly runway. Pilot got sent on exchange to fly F-15s in US and is now flying as Captain for well-known UK airline.
Aircraft repaired and flew again several weeks later.
