Is landing the F-16 easy?
I figure it is kind of hard because of the landing gear
it is very close together
Thanks

Landing the f16 is not that hard but it is a little different than landing other planes. In most planes you have a long flare where you basically flare until the plane reaches a speed where it cannot fly anymore. In the f16 you only flare a little.
I do not think that the wheels being close together makes it harder to land. It isn't that hard to keep the wings straight. I used to fly gliders which as you probably know only have a single wheel & they weren't hard to land either.

Of all the aircraft I have flown the f16 has been the easiest to fly.
