Crashed in Leftwich park after the pilot ejected safely. The site of the crash was 4 miles north of Misawa, Japan.
Witness Acount: "The load crew that I was on was doing a FOD walk in front of D-13 or D-15 HAS when it was taking off for a night sortie during an exercise. We noticed sparks coming out of the engine and it slowed down and turned towards lake Ogawara. The pilot then ejected. The aircraft crashed in Leftwich park and took out part of the soft ball field. We were told that the engine came apart."

Cause of the crash was a fuel shut-off valve, which is a safety device in case of a fire. The aircraft was flying from Holloman AFB, New Mexico to Ellington Field, Texas. The pilot felt a vibration followed by a bang which stopped the engine at an altitude of only 3,000 feet. The pilot re-light the engine and the same thing happened again. At this point the pilot, Captain Kenneth J. Gurry, ejected, because the aircraft was descending through 800 feet of altitude. The ejection occurred near League City, Texas. The ejection seat was repaired and used for training, then placed in the Texas Military Forces Museum.

Hit the ground near Bangojin, South Korea. The crash occurred during an incentive flight with a crew chief. The pilot selected afterburner to start a mach run, but shortly after selecting full afterburner the crew heard a loud bang followed by a decrease in engine RPM. The pilot cleaned the wings by ejecting all external stores. Not long after that, engine RPM's dropped to zero and the aircraft soon became a two-seat glider. The pilot was able to guide the jet over water with the assist of the EPU and both the pilot and crew chief successfully ejected at 2,200 feet and were rescued by helicopter. This accident stopped the incentive flight program at Kunsan for a while.
