APCH CTLR WAS WORKING A FLT OF 2 ACFT; A CIV OWNED F100 AND A GNAT; WHEN 1 ACFT STATED THAT 1 ACFT HAD A GEAR PROB. LATER CTLR WAS UNABLE TO CONTACT EITHER ACFT AND THE TWR HEARD 1 PLT STATE HE HAD AN OVERHEAT FIRE LIGHT. THE F100 WAS SEEN ON FINAL AND LANDED SHORT OF THE RWY DESTROYING SOME OF THE APCH LIGHTS TO RWY 5; BUT ABLE TO ROLL OUT ON THE RWY. NO EMER DECLARED.

Narrative

THE F100 AND GNAT DEPART E REQUESTING BLOCK FROM 15500 FT TO 17500 FT TO STAY WITHIN 20 DME FWA. BOTH ACFT OPERATING TOGETHER; GNAT PLT TALKING. THE F100 AND GNAT WERE OBSERVED CLBING OUT OF 4500 FT ACCELERATING THROUGH 400 KTS WHEN THE GNAT RPTS ONE OF THE ACFT HAS A GEAR PROB AND THAT THEY WANT TO HOLD AND WORK OUT THE PROB. RADAR APPROVES THE HOLD. SHORTLY AFTER BOTH ACFT ARE OBSERVED TURNING TOWARD THE ARPT; RADAR ASKS THE GNAT THEIR INTENTIONS AND NEITHER ACFT WILL RESPOND OR ACCEPT ATC INSTRUCTIONS. LCL CTL OVERHEARS ONE PLT STATE THAT HE HAS AN OVERHEAT AND FIRE LIGHT (NOTE: NEITHER ACFT WILL ANSWER ATC INQUIRIES). THE F100 LANDED SHORT OF RWY 5 DESTROYING SEVERAL APCH LIGHTS; DEPLOYS HIS CHUTE. NEITHER ACFT DECLARED AN EMER; ATC DID DECLARE AN ALERT 2. THIS FACILITY HAS REPEATED PROBS WITH THESE PLTS THAT COMPROMISES SAFETY ON A REPEATED BASIS. THIS IS LITERALLY AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN; IT WAS EXTREMELY EVIDENT THAT THE F100 PLT WAS WAY BEHIND THE ACFT (NOT IN CTL) CREATING AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SAFETY SIT.
