Comments: Mid-air collision with another F-16C (88-0542) from the same squadron. The aircraft, piloted by Major Brandon Sweat, landed safely with minor damage. It was about 17:00 hours near Morman Mesa, which is 50 miles northeast of Nellis. The aircraft were part of a four ship formation. The aircraft was repaired and first noticed in service by August 2001 at Nellis AFB as a detachment from Eglin AFB.

While the gun was at backshop I took the gunport home over the weekend and stripped and shined it up. That only lasted about 2 months. Pilots were complaining that when they climbed into a bank they kept getting "shot" at because of the shine. Became DCC for the first time on F-16's here.
