many guys here have ignored thunder's superb ability of landing smoothly and slowing down without deploying any airbreaks or even jettisoning chute, that it demonstrated at the end. Like Gripen, F-16, f-18 it landed and slow itself down using horizontal stabilators, which are controlled by digital FBW system.
UAE F-16 landed before JFT demonstration, deployed air breaks and it slow down the same way that Thunder's did. but JFT not even used airbreaks either.
see both's landing again f-16 & JF-17, its simply remarkable to see that. it made my day.
