Comments:
While parked en route to Al Minhad AB for Desert Storm was struck on the tail by a taxiing C-130. The tip of the wing on the C-130 just managed to clip the tip of the tail on the F-16. Damage was heavy enough to put the aircraft out of commission for Desert Storm. When the aircraft returned to flyable status the war was over and the aircraft was assigned to the 34th TFS.
