15 Jul 2007 [msh] 92901 USAF 13 FS 'WW' F-16C Block 50P News Article
Lost during takeoff from Balad AB, Iraq at 16.55 hours with the pilot managing to eject safely. Accident investigation found that the nose gear tire was at low pressure and maintenance failed to properly check the tire pressure. During takeoff roll the nose gear tire blew when the aircraft reached 150 mph. Pilot heard the pop and thought it was an engine failure so aborted the take-off even though at high speed and running out of runway. Shortly after the nose gear collapsed and due to sever lack of control the pilot (also a commander) elected to eject. Aircraft continued another 2000 feet until it went off the runway where it tumbled end-over-end coming to rest upside down. Fire erupted and the 20mm rounds cooked off.
