Longest runway is 783 feet. Probably not enough? What’s missing was the reason for this attempted landing. Didn’t say it was an emergency landing.

Sorry. That was elevation. NOT runway length, obviously.

No engine. Seven minutes of Hydro/electric power. No room to actually land.

The plane crashed at the end of the runway at Lake Havasu City international (locals joke) airport ... and about 3 miles from my home. Various military aircraft fly over the lake a lot.

2 miles west of Glendale is more like it.

Why couldn’t they just say it ran off the runway?

I kinda wonder about the no-engine rumor. The nozzle position doesn’t indicate that.
To: Excuse_My_Bellicosity
Yes. The thrust vectoring looks fine.

Thanks, the “L” kept making me think of Langley but then I remembered theirs is FF.
Luke is the only thing I could think of especially in the South West.

Why couldn’t they just say it ran off the runway? Training I suppose in using technical terms. You remember "civilian pacification " during the Vietnam war?

Well, they can salvage some parts off of it at least.
