F-18 passes an apartment building in Detroit
I don't often post photoblogs that need captions, but this one is too great to miss, and the captions are important. X Planes is about aviation, and has fantastic, rare and unknown photos of actual and imagined planes. Enjoy!
On Feb 2nd, 1970, a Convair F-106 Delta Dagger was found in a snow-covered Montana field, pilot-less, landing gear up, and with the engine still running - the melting snow causing the aircraft to slowly move forward.
The pilot - Captain Gary Faust - had earlier ejected from the aircraft at 15,000 feet when it entered a flat spin. Amazingly, the un-piloted aircraft then recovered, to make a gentle “belly-up” landing.
