Comments: Crashed at the end of the runway at 8:34am while attemtping to land at Nellis AFB. The pilot ejected safely but was taken to the hospital to be treated for scratches. A briefcase got loose on the back-seat and jammed the throttle making it unable for the pilot to shut down the afterburner. The accident happened because the pilot failed to comply with emergency procedures.
Falcon AMU got A3927 from Viper along with several other D models. I crewed this bird for a little over a year before it crashed. Pilot reported the jet was stuck in AB and ended up running out of gas about 300 yards short of the runway (it actually landed short of perimeter road by only about 50 ft).
