Belly landed Byrd IAP, Richmond, Virginia, but damage was said to be repairable. Said to have accidentally landed on its centre line fuel tank. It was being flown by the Virginia ANG at the time of the mishap. The aircraft was in depot at Ogden ALC, Utah where it was repaired and returned for service with the 149th FS in 1998.

Collided with an F-15A (75-0054) of the 122th FS over the Atlantic Ocean off Brunswick, Georgia. The pilot, Lieutenant Colonel John Michael Steward, was killed in this mid-air collision. The F-15 pilot ejected safely and was recovered.

Ran off the runway at Leeuwarden AB. The two member crew survived. The aircraft is now on display at the Depot Mechanisch Vliegtuigmaterieel en Straalmotoren (Mechanical Aircraft Material and Jet Engine Depot) which is at Woensdrecht AB

The right main landing gear failed. This caused the aircraft to skid across runway, two taxi ways and the ramp coming to rest in front of the port authority fire department building. There were no injuries.
