F-16C Block 30F

Comments:
Left main tire blew after rotation during a take off from Alburquerque, New Mexico. Damage also was sustained when debris made a hole in the lower finger brace panel which is important to the the structure. It is thought to be repairable, but unknown if the wing will need to be replaced.
