BTW, in military aviation history, Hakodate became famous on 6 September 1976, at 13:50, when First Lieutenant Viktor Ivanovich Belenko of the 513th Fighter Regiment, Soviet Air Defense Command (PVO), based at Sakharovka in Siberia, Russia, landed his MiG-25P (Perekhvatchik or "Interceptor") Foxbat A (31 Red) at the Hakodate airport (HKD).
For pre-flight, one of the pilots climbs into the intake. 8)

The aircraft are from the 13th FS and yeah clearly one was 91-0471 and I think the other is 91-0477. The only other D they have is 91-0462 which I don't think it is.

That happened at Misawa a few weeks ago. I believe a wire shorted out under a panel in the cockpit. They just clip it and went from there to get them back here.

Could somebody give me any reference to the site, report or provide with more detailed information regarding the emergency landing of two USAF F-16D's at Hakodate Airport, Japan on 17th November 2006?
The brief information I read on F-16.net tells only of some minor problems. Has any more detailed information been released concerning this incident?
If we talking about wednesday's emergency landing of polish Viper (<a href="f-16_fighting_falcon_airframe-4642.html">#4079</a>, D version) - the cause of it was the pilot and the wso felt smoke during routine training mission, so they decided to land at the nearest airfield - Okęcie IAP. Yesterday mornng 4079 returned to it's home base at Krzesiny AB near Poznań city.

* Problem: "Smoke in cabin."
* Solution: "Aircrew reminded fleet is no-smoking these days."

Do you suggest that the incident was due to somoking rather than to "minor discrepancy", eg. electrical shortage ?
I think everyone has missed the question. He asked if we had any info on the 2 F-16's landing in Japan last November. I don't think the Polish have flown there yet.

Greg2791 was probably referring to the article <a href="http://www.f-16.net/news_article2055.html">Smoke forces USAF F-16 to make emergency landing</a> but he did create confusion by naming his post "Polish F-16D makes emergency landing".
Note: I now merged that thread he started with an already exisiting thread.
26 March 2008:
Three F-16.
USAF, based at Misawa AB, Aomori Prefecture.
13:31, 13:33, and 14:24, landed at Hachinohe JMSDF Base.
Bad weather at Misawa AB.
