F-16 jet fighters stationed in a military base in Krzesiny (western Poland) have twice had to make emergency landings due to avionics failures today.
Both aircraft managed to blind-land safely thanks to the pilots’ skills. According to "Newsweek Polska", a catastrophe was avoided only by luck. |

Quote:
Since the Polish air force began operating the F-16s in December last year, dozens of faults and defects have been detected in the fighter planes' equipment. All repair costs are to the account of the Polish military, as the government failed to include waranty clauses in the purchase agreement.
Too bad, too bad! |

Ok, the article looks a bit too sensationalistic (how do you do a "blind landing" in a bubble-canopy dude  ), but I guess part of the stats might be "good" - what is your opinion on the whole thing ? |

| This article is almost completely false. There were no avionics emergencies... question everything this guy rights. He weaves his lies around small kernels of truth to make them seem believable. |
