The FJ-4 Fury also went off the end of the runway, but no damage reported, and pilot okay. Very odd that both incidents happened on the same day, and not too far apart from one another.

...it figures, one of our boys! As we say down here...if it weren't for the fine folks over in Mississippi, we'd be at the bottom of the barrel!....Y'all it's just a little Southern humor...
They are based down in Montgomery, the state capital. I bet the Governor will have him brought over to the Capital meeting chambers...:salute:

They don't build heavy iron them like they use to. Bet a MiG-15 would have taken the landing off the runway too. :icon_lol:

Kudos to the pilot for not pulling the ejection handle when he realised he was about to have an "Ohh sh*t" moment.
