After an engine change, the reworked engine was ground tested. The aircraft jumped the chocks while in segment 2 afterburner. Maintainers failed to hook up the throtle linkage to the fuel control. Aircraft traveled across the ramp and onto soft ground where the gear was ripped off. The F-16's belly cut a 25 yard hole in the ground before coming to rest in a ditch. No injuries in this mishap.
