I was the fire rescue crew chief for this bird. The pilot
did and outstanding job catching the cable and limiting the
damage to the plane. The plane suffered a landing gear door
malfunction and the pilot unsuccessfully attempted to cycle
open the door. the incident occurred on 29 Apr 99 and the
eagle was assigned to the 44 FS. The pilot lept from the
plane once stopped and was unhurt.
