Amazing! For what it was, that was a damn fine landing. My hat goes off to the crew. :salute:

Yeah not bad for a 22 year old rookie.

Good old tailhook landing, I've seen a couple of Tornados do that before. Well done to the pilots.

Is it the first time anyone has belly landed an F-111?

Apparently the first time the RAAF has anyway.
