What do you think, would the airframe be a write-off?


Not necessarily, plenty of aircraft
have been repaired after wheels up landings.

Would the USAF do this or just eject as the safer, although more expensive
option?

Given the injuries sufered by many pilots in ejections
I'm not convinced it would be a safer option.
