My favorite air combat plane. Best there is. Who was the pilot? “Mi-Brake-Fail|”?

This incident doesn’t seem newsworthy. Surely this isn’t the only time something like this has happened; winds were strong at the time. Why would this be reported publically?

It’s either this or more drivel about the Zimmerman verdict.

"F-16 ends up off runway while landing at Osan"Good grief, does no one in the "journalism" world know how to write a freakin' headline anymore?

I was really shocked to see a “Top 10” Mil show for warplanes and NOT see the F-16 on it. Disappointed, let’s say. What a great all-around plane.
Meanwhile, I WAS pleased the P-51 was #1.

Who was the pilot? Mi-Brake-Fail|? I heard it was Mi Dum Phuk. I will bet this is only one of many, many comments on the name that you receive.:)
