This is an insane video of a full scale F-15 emergency landing due to a fire in the #2 engine. This pilot shows that no matter what happens, remain calm and keep flying.

Highly skilled pilot!

I am very impressed with how he handled that.

Looked like he touched down at near 200 knots. That is crazy fast! I bet that ejection seat is a wild ride.

good thing he punched... the camera was sitting on the ground when it ended... that means the nose must have shattered...

All I can say is WOW. That's not too far from us St. Louis guys. I don't remember hearing anything about it on the news. Of course it may not have been released either. He forced that baby down, the landing speed of a F-15 is around 160 Knots, he landed at 200 Knots.
