Fighter jet lands on stool video has suddenly been making its round on the internet as of late. As recorded in the video of fighter jet lands on stool released by the U.S. military, a pilot successfully lands a faulty jet on a stool, but not without undergoing what was probably the most nerve-racking moments of his life.

Reports say that fighter jet lands on stool occurred as the aircraft's front landing gear failed and the pilot had to go back to the Navy ship. According to the Daily Mail, the heart-stopping event of fighter jet lands on stool happened as the pilot was forced to land vertically on a stool which he couldn't even see.

The pilot manipulating the jet in the fighter jet lands on stool video is Captain William Mahoney. According to the BBC, Mahoney had just taken off from the USS Bataan in an AV-8B Harrier jump jet when he suddenly finds out that he cannot push through with his flight.

According to reports, it was the U.S. Marine Corps that released the fighter jet lands on stool video, which shows footage of the spectacular moment when Mahoney had to land his jet on the USS Bataan faultlessly and without full landing gear on Jun. 7. It was certainly a skilful performance from the pilot taking control over the situation of fighter jet lands on stool. Eventually, Mahoney was able to perform a very difficult vertical landing on a stool aboard the USS Bataan.

The amazing landing of fighter jet lands on stool was filmed while on board a U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship, the USS Bataan. The fighter jet was reportedly a Cold War-era fighter, which is capable of taking off and landing vertically.

When Mahoney realized that something is amiss with his landing gear, he flew past the ship's control tower and the officer on duty confirmed that the nose landing gear had not deployed, hence fighter jet lands on stool.

As Mahoney landed vertically, he brought the nose of the aircraft down to rest on a stool, with much difficulty but with great skill as well.

The Marine Corps reportedly keep the stool for events such as this malfunction. The stool is essentially what it is, a stool, albeit a giant one, and it is capable of carrying the weight of a 22,000-pound fighter jet's nose.

Despite this option of fighter jet lands on stool, there are no others, and Mahoney reportedly cannot make any errors in the landing. If he missed the giant stool, the $30million fighter jet would smash into the ship's deck and ignite its fuel.

As such, Mahoney was able to pull off the landing as shown in the fighter jet lands on stool video by using his plane's jump jets and lower it from 300 feet to 20 feet above the deck.

Though he could not see the stool, air controllers and lights on the deck of the ship guided him as he made the made fighter jet lands on stool video.

Capt Mahoney said in a U.S. Marine Corps video regarding the footage of fighter jet lands on stool video he was in, 'So I'm at 20 feet stabilizing and I can't see the stool. I don't even know it's there. I didn't see it coming over the end of the ship, I remember looking for it, but I never saw the stool.'

He was just a few feet above the deck when the jet suddenly dropped. Amazingly, fighter jet lands on stool as the jet's nose hit the stool and bounced, leaving Mahoney, and the jet unhurt.

Mahoney said, 'At that point, I was just sort of along for the ride.'

Fighter jet lands on stool video happening have left the crew of the USS Bataan fearful and Mahoney realized later that they had already evacuated the landing deck in case the landing was unsuccessful and he crashed.
