RAF pilot crash-landed euro 88.25 million fighter jet after 'forgetting to put the wheels down'

An RAF pilot crash-landed a euro 88.25 million fighter jet at 130mph after apparently forgetting to put the wheels down. The state-of-the-art Eurofighter Typhoon careered down a runway without its landing gear down and experts are now investigating how the accident could have happened.

The pilot and the co-pilot, from 17 Squadron, were on a training exercised in California and miraculously walked away from the high-speed crash unhurt.
