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?
Also happened in Oz, at Amberley in 1972.
F-4E was doing touch-and-go, scaffold around tower so ATC couldn't see wheels not down, scraped on the tanks (fortunately) as burner in and airborne. Next was a full-stop with three greens!! No damage to airframe, only the tanks.
