Comments:
Three days prior to the accident the engine was installed by SSgt Al Lynch, SSgt Stewart Baily, SSGT Jim Biggs, Sgt Paula Forness, AIC Jerrod Whittaker and AIC Jason Wollever. After several delays, the aircraft was launched by SSGT Scott Ramsour. The aircraft taxied and went to EOR arm crew. On take-off the engine lost power and the pilot climbed to MSA to bring the aircraft back to the base. The aircraft made an emergency landing attempt and struck the approach overrun area 100 yards short of the runway on the right side. The main landing failed and the aircraft collapsed along with the nose landing gear. The aircraft came to rest between the taxiway and runway after sliding 1,500 feet. The pilot raised the canopy electrically and climbed out. He was burned and recieved injuries to his back and spine but did survive. The pilot was initialy rescued by passing personel. The cause of the accident was determined to be a faulty augmentor fan control unit (AFT).

Wreck was stored in a hanger at Homestead AFB when Hurricane Andrew hit causing further damage, but the aircraft would have been a write off any way.
