Suffered a bird strike in the air intake after take-off from Rygge air base at 11:38 hours. It was flying with an F-16A going on a bombing mission on a range in southern Norway.

17 Mar 2001 [w/o] 712 87-0712 RNOAF 331 skv F-16B Block 15AD OCU Details
Lost after ingesting a bird which caused an engine fire. Both crew ejected safely and the wreckage came down just off the southern tip of Landegode island, Norway. Backseater was a female administration officer on an incentive flight. Wreckage was moved to Kjeller depot.
17 Dec 2002 [sto] 686 80-3686 RNOAF 331 skv F-16A Block 20 MLU Details
The main gear collapsed during landing at Ganci AB, Manas, Kyrgyzstan. Both tension struts tore free from the FS341 bulkhead following a very hard landing. The aircraft is being repaired at Kjeller depot where the lower FS341 bulkhead is being replaced, similar to Falcon Up. The hard landing was caused by the fact that during landing in a two-ship formation one wing came into the turbulence from the lead. This caused the wing to loose lift and to compensate the pilot gave roll input the other way, with the result that the flaperon on the wing which was not in the turbulence went up, causing loss of control.
04 Jun 2003 [act] 688 80-3688 RNOAF 332 skv F-16A Block 20 MLU Details
The main wheel collapsed at Ørland AB and was caused due to human error during maintenance of the "over-center lock".
