Twould have been messy with that config.

The worst part is that I believe that the wheels-up landing configuration for this aircraft was not as a result of a problem with the aircraft.
I suspect that the pilot would have found out what the problem was when he needed to select full afterburner just to taxi...oh, and the ants on the ground would have appeared to be slightly bigger.
