Skidded off the runway and burned out during take-off on a post maintenance test flight. The AOA probe was installed backwards. As soon as the aircraft broke ground the aircraft porpoised up and down the runway. Faulty instrument readings gave the wrong angle of attack to the computer. Air data inputs are used to automatically schedule the leading edge flaps and the AOA limiting is in effect. The pilot, Captain Bryan Nordhelm, managed to eject safely. The pilot attempted to correct the bad data but the computer would not respond. The mishap occurred at Hill AFB, but the aircraft is normally operated by the 347th Wing at Moody AFB, Georgia. It was being worked on for NIVIS lighting upgrade before the CCIP package had been released.
