Comments:
Collided with F-16D (#85-1572), but both had landed safely at Langley AFB, Virginia. They were flying at 18:45 hours with night vision goggles over Cape Charles, Virginia when they hit. A wing was taken from the D-model and attached to the C-model so that it could fly home safely. The D-model was taken from Langley AFB by truck to Hill AFB, Utah where it was repaired over the next two years.

I was the 1st ever ADCC on this jet. we got them new from the factory when Spangdahlem converted from the F-4E's to the F-16C. it had about 16 hours in the forms when it arrived. I had 3 DCC's during that time, a SSgt chick, a SSgt we called "Country" and then some Guy that made SSgt before me, that went on to be a State Trooper somewhere.
