A Taiwanese F-16 fighter jet being flown by a US Air Force pilot was forced to make an emergency landing at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Hawaii around 3 p.m. Monday, a US defense spokesperson told Air Force Times.The aircraft appeared to have problems with its landing gear and the pilot declared an in-flight emergency and landed, defense officials said. A netting barrier was used to slow and stop the plane, and the nose gear collapsed after contact with the net.
Some media outlets had earlier reported incorrectly that the aircraft belonged to the US Air Force’s 15th Fighter Wing after an official from the Hawaii National Guard said the jet was assigned to the Honolulu-based unit.
