Thanks. I worked on TAF F16’s for a couple of years in my AF days.

WW2. Kamikaze fighter planes had landing gear. Problem is it came off as the planes took off and became airborne. A runner fella ran out, picked them up and put them on the next plane. Didn’t tell them what was going on.

Appears they need to crash land on a shallow body of water. Have one of those cable grabber hooks like they do on carriers.
