Comments:
Mid-air collision with another F-16A (87-0400, 883). The aircraft, took a while to repair. This mishap occurred over the South China Sea. About 1/3 of the right wing was sheared off and the LE flap bent up 90 degrees. There was also damage to the vertical and horizontal stabilizers on the right side. The successful recovery of the aircraft was a testament to the toughness of the F-16 design and pilot skill. The aircraft was repaired with the assistance of a USAF team from Hill AFB, Utah.
