I believe it was a Taiwanese fighter.

[Gay State Conservative]

Good to hear that nobody was hurt.I wonder if the F-16 is Air Force,Navy or both.

[rktman]

Serious skid marks. In more than one location.

[GMMC0987]

Pretty sure they prefer that the landing gear deploy prior to landing.

[Boogieman]

“An HDOT spokesperson confirmed that it is not a Hawaii National Guard fighter jet but did not know who the jet belongs to.”

We just let fighter jets land at our airstrips without knowing who they belong to now?

[Daffynition]

Pfft! Over here darling.

Taiwan AF F16? Plang!

[bigbob]

Anyone who gears in an F-16 and walks away unhurt should never have to pay for his own beer.

[AndyJackson]

there is no damage to the runway

Well that would be a big deal here in DC. An asphalt repair job takes a couple of years what with everyone who needs a piece of the action.

I presume they can scratch one $64 M airplane.

Where’s that checklist?

[Seruzawa]

It’s a two seater. Training.

I wonder what happened, you’re supposed to be able to blow the nlg, mlg doors, the uplock hooks release the gear, and the mains are extended by gravity. I can’t remember how the nose extends. The nitrogen bottle for all that is at the back of the nose wheel well, at least the have and Schrader valve are.

"HONOLULU (KITV4) -- A fighter jet made a crash landing at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, Monday afternoon, after its front landing gear did not deploy.

The crash happened around 2:45 p.m. The crash landing happened on runway 4R at the airport, according the Department of Transportation. The pilot used the jet’s tail hook to slow down after the front landing gear failed, DOT said.

Miraculously, the jet did not appear suffer much damage despite the rough landing.

Commercial jets landing at HNL will have to land at runway 8R due to accident, which could cause some delays for any incoming aircraft for about the next hour to 90 minutes, a spokesperson said.

No injuries or major damage done to the runway were reported.

It is unclear what military branch the aircraft belonged or the type of aircraft."

WtF?! an F-16 with a tail hook? (F-16 is USAF only, not Navy (unless that has changed since I was in)); "Unclear what branch"... DuH (USAF)

(I guess I have to give them a little slack, they ARE a news organization.. which means they have NO knowledge of the military, nor its equipment. But, I can't figure out where they got the 'tail hook' idea.. Even in the picture above, from their website, there is obviously no tail hook 🤔)

"Miraculously, the jet did not appear suffer much damage"

😆😂🤣😂😆

I wonder if the pilot forgot to lower them....
