Belly landed but stayed on the runway. Pilot did not eject. Aircraft carried wing commanders markings. Minor repairs were made but the aircraft never flew again and went to Sheppard AFB, Texas. Cause of the mishap happened as follows. The centerline tank was installed prior to flight. Leak and transfer check where good, but the pilot did not close the IFR door. The pilot noticed fuel not transferring and punched off the full centerline tank. The F-16 came into view for landing powered by the EPU only and kept the gear up. When the aircraft touched down bright colored flames came from under the aircraft as it slid to a stop, but it did not catch fire.
