@gosst60 yep and now replaced by the F/A-18F superhornets even though many wanted the F-22 but at the end of the day they were to expensive and were not ideal for ground support. The sad part is the F-35 is turning into a 3 legged dog so we may get F-22's anyway.

@Penguinister Australia basically got majorly screwed over the F35., and had to buy Super Hornets because of lack of life in the Hornet airframes. They were expecting F35s in 2012 or 2014 LATEST, and I doubt any one will see them before 2020.
Total cock up. Not AUS fault though,. and the UK in a similar predicament, with a pair of state of the art carriers coming online with nothing to fly off them except Lynx and Merlin. Our perfectly good Harriers flogged of to the US for parts for their AV8s More..

@gnark1ll The us won't sell the f-22 to anyone .the uk s decision to sell there only carrier jets was truly amazing .in my opinion it should have been the last thing they cut .

@markymark69 Yup, and never to sell any now, to their beleaguered erstwhile allies.
Unless they reopen the production line, I believe they stopped at just under 200 copies right? No B model, no versions, no nuthin.
Shame.

Think I would have dumped or burned off at 2/3's of that fuel before belly landing.

Pretty bonza!
But in the end no-wheel landings are not a real emergency for most aircraft types.

@DEADBEEF Ignoring potential ground casualties of the crashing airplane, is it safer to eject or belly land for the pilots?

@kingfordlm
I'm not a pilot, but everything I've read or viewed says that belly-landing is a pretty safe option.
If the landing is at an attended airport then it's almost as smooth as a wheels up landing.
Ejecting from a military aircraft is quite hazardous and only done in case of catastrophic failure.

@kingfordlm - the record of survival in F-111 crashes with ejections is mixed. It's a very complicated system in which the entire capsule containing the crew detaches, rockets up, then parachutes down and lands on airbags. It's amazing when it works (worked), but one thing going wrong meant death or serious injury.
