Collided with an antenna while landing at Shaw AFB, South Carolina. A team had to fly in from Hill AFB, Utah. A bulkhead, both ventral fins, the 'bathtub' panel, the engine and engine bay, along with the landing gear and landing gear door were just some of the parts replaced over the next almost two years. Returned to the air on April 8, 2015 with a code 1 flight.
