Looks like they also bought some old DAF trucks together with the F-16s.

Makes me wonder why he made that landing with external fueltanks still attached.
However the outcome of this landing is positive so thumbs up,

If it was a full, calculated belly landing, it was actualy wise to leave them on. They absorb a lot of the impact and damage.
Answers will be questioned.....

I am not sure, but i believe there are even procedures For gear failures. if they have 2 tanks like in this situation they can make a belly landing. if they only have a centerline tank they have to eject. but i am not sure maybe there is someone here who can confirme or deny this.
