Quite unusual: an Egyptian Air Force plane is forced to perform a belly landing with extended nose gear.
You don’t see this kind of maneuver every day.
Reportedly filmed on Mar. 24, at an undisclosed airport, the following footage shows a textbook landing of an Egyptian Air Force DHC-5 Buffalo plane.
The transport plane suffered a failure that prevented its main landing gear from extending, forcing the Buffalo to attempt a belly landing.
The emergency ended with minor damage to the fuselage.
Recently we published another video showing an emergency landing on Dry Lake of a B-1B Lancer whose nose gear failed to extend.
