- Story 1
An F-16 fighter jet en route to the Toledo Express Airport had an in-flight emergency Sunday, causing them to abandon two fuel tanks in Hardin County and divert flights en route to the airport.
Officials with the 180th Fighter Wing of the Ohio Air National Guard say around 10:20 a.m. an F-16 fighter jet assigned to their wing jettisoned two fuel tanks in accordance with emergency procedure. They say the fuel tanks were jettisoned in Hardin County, about 50 miles south of the base, and no injuries have been reported.
Around the same time, Allegiant Air Flight 1047 was diverted to the Fort Wayne International Airport after being in a holding pattern waiting to land at the Toledo Express Airport.
Enjoy!!
Story 2
The fleet of 72 F-16s at the onset of the mission was made up of groups from two wings, with 56 hailing from 388th Tactical Fighter Wing out of Al Minhad in the United Arab Emirates and the remaining 16 from the 401st Tactical Fighter Wing out of Doha in Qatar. Among that small party from the 401st was Major Emmett Tullia, flying under the callsign “Stroke 3.”
As he made his approach, a cockpit warning went off to tell Tullia that he had been targetted by a radar-guided surface-to-air missile. In textbook fashion, he made the telephone-pole-sized missile miss with a hard turn, but noted that his chaff and flares seemed to not affect the missile’s flight. Undaunted by the close call, Tullia pressed on and was among the few F-16 pilots who were able to brave the onslaught of Iraqi defenses and find his target, deploying both 2,000-pound bombs over an oil refinery.
He turned his F-16 south to get out of the city, only to find that he’d been targetted once again. This time, three missiles were heading his way. Again, Stroke 3 took evasive action, dodging the incoming SA-3 missiles and flying straight into a lock from an even more capable SA-6 surface-to-air missile.
With so little speed and altitude left after dodging the previous missiles, Tullia was forced to go into a dive to gain escape speed, which meant flying straight into the cloud of anti-aircraft fire below. Eventually, Tullia managed to the 6th missile like he did all five previously: with nothing but expert flying. His chaff and flares failed to function throughout the entire ordeal.

Why would the F-16 shut down and stop on the runway? Couldn't he have just rolled through through a turnoff and stopped on the taxiway? That would have kept the airport open.
Epu runs on toxic chemicals that have to be dealt with before the plane can be approached/towed
If you get to the point of not having fuel to reach an alternate then it's MAYDAY fuel and I AM LANDING. Because it's better than crashing. I wonder if his "not enough fuel" was not getting there with 30 minutes final reserve. Low cost airlines are well known for not wanting to take fuel they don't need to transport, so if they don't expect issues they may be down to fumes if anything goes wrong. Most of the time the FAA, and in the UK where Ryanair was caught doing this, the CAA, won't usually find out. I wouldn't be surprised if the Allegiant jet was cutting things close.
Not planned for any alternates, he says? I thought an alternate was always required?
If the weather at your destination, 1hour before ETA to 1hour after ETA is better than 2,000ft ceilings and 3sm visibility than no alternate is needed. FAR §91.169
I also think its accounting distance you travel
I dont think an this rule apply to over ocean flights
Also take into account that US got inaane amount of airports some are even in the zones of other airports
@@Wkcrtthere is literally no airline or pilot that gives a damn that will not have an alternate figured out. Without doing research to confirm such a reg exists I'm still doubting any airline or FAA would allow that.
@@Wkcrt isn’t it still required even flying IFR to have 30 minutes of fuel past your initial airport at cruising speed?
But this was a passenger airlines.. excuse my ignorance but should a part 91 FAR be applicable in this case?
Wonder why the Airbus has nothing left for an alternate 😖 ✈️,
allegian is a naughty boy. what are the IFR minimum fuel to land? the answer is ........... 45 minutes. he didn't even have 30 mins. someone is getting in trouble
Why the fuck couldn't they tow the F-16 off the runway? Brah you just need 5-6 strong guys and it's outta there in minutes. Incredible.
What is “high key”?
High key = Mighty 41 was directly over the field at the center and he advised he was entering High Key at 8000 feet. That would be MSL. He will do a descending circular VFR approach. He was having oil issues with his single engine and expecting engine failure at any time. Once he made High key he had enough energy to land even with the engine out. A jet needs fuel, ignition and oil. Without any of the three, the engine will quit; oil is the worst because it will seize and cause more drag. Having been a military pilot, they handle these things very calmly and train for these situations.
@@jclark4185mighty42 was doing the high key after 41 landed.
Position above the runway in the direction of landing, for an emergency landing pattern. Not sure about the altitude for the Viper but it’s a standard Air Force emergency pattern.
I hate simulation
