Comments:
When attending Night Vision Goggle/Targeting Pod-training in El Centro (USA), pilot Cdt. Phille Heytens had a crash-landing. While landing, the FA-60 broke his left landing gear and the plane stopped next to the runway. Heytens stayed cool and remained in his cockpit. The FA-60 was planned to be stored at Weelde this year, so it will probably not be repaired although repairable
