while on a mission to bomb some SAM sites, I accidentally pressed the g key, which lowers the gear. I was going slow enough, but for some reason only my left main extended. Not good.


...
after a quick glance at the manual, it told me to eject if I couldn't get the gear back down, so I did.


...
But that's no fun, is it? after pressing a few buttons, I finally managed to get em back down, but the left main was still crippled a little.


...
for the trouble I was in then, the emergency procedure said
to land, so I made my way back into friendlier pakistani airspace and aligned myself with the runway.


...
and, not to my surprise, I landed safelyish! Its a good thing a carrier wasn't the only option!

Cool screens. Intersting way to fly an aircraft, though. Smiley
