My first gear collapse!

Well, it was bound to happen…my first gear collapse!
After a frustrating attempt to drop a pair of GBU’s on my target runway, I had to try three times before the bombs would finally release.
I then headed home and began my approach.
All was okay and I received clearance for final approach…nice touchdown…then…bam!
Next thing I know, I’m sitting on the side of the runway on an unnatural angle for the F16 with bells and whistles going off to boot.
I shut the engine down and took some selfies!

Yeah, those land lubber jets…easy to break the gear…
-
That happened to me once in 4.32. I speculate that I was taxiing out too fast when I made a turn onto the hammerhead or runway.
-
Managed to get similar results 3 or 4 times in 4.32. Often from poor landing technique, unfortunately
-
Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
-
I came to say that…

Personally being a mad man, I take offense on my sim if it does not enable me to crashland every 2nd day at least once.
In modded IL-2 I even perfectionized the art of crashlanding F-86s and F-84s. Funny enough, in BMS I prefer a straight and smooth landing.

And yes, I was a tad kidding. Nice screenies Sir.
