F-16 dead stick landing cockpit video.

[trof]

This video is of a F-16 dead stick landing into Elizabeth City, NC. See if you can keep all of the radio transmission straight. Probably the coolest sounding voice in the whole mix is the actual pilot of the engine out aircraft. Just a reminder.. an F-16 has only one engine. When it goes, you are coming down. It is just a matter of figuring out where the airplane will come to rest on terra firma. Nice job....cool pilot!

Although he may be hyperventilating a bit (So would I be!) his breathing sounds very loud because his mic is in his O2 Mask.

On the HUD (Heads Up Display) the left instrument tape is airspeed, the right one is altitude.

For those not familiar with fighter aircraft, EPU (Electrical Power Unit) provides hydraulic and electrical power in event of failure of the engine, electrical or hydraulics. The EPU is powered by Hydrazine which decomposes into hot gasses as it passes across a catalyst bed or engine bleed air (if available). The hot air passes through a turbine which drive the emergency hydraulic pump and generator through a gear box.

That was pretty neat.
