So what happened there? It seemed to be a good airplane til landing. And the fact that the equipment wasn't waiting would seem to indicate that nobody was expecting trouble.

Wild guess:

He was not sure if landing in a normal airstrip as a normal airplane or in a dime as a Harrier.
Just another cast away from AD.com that reached AD.info island.

Gee. You'd think they wouldn't let him take off until they were sure he'd have the landing part figured out every time...
