The aircraft made a landing on the runway at Misawa AB with no nose gear when the nose strut refused to extend on approach. The pilot landed it perfectly on the main gear and touched it down on the ECM pod. The pod saved the aircraft form exstensive frame damage and also saved the HTS pod from being wrecked. The cause was found to be a misinstalled torque link pin from that mornings tow out of the HAS. The strut extended on takeoff and it became jammed in the nose well keeping the nose gear from extending.

Crashed near the Dugway Providing Grounds, some 130 miles southwest of Hill AFB, Utah. The pilot, Captain Christopher Rappa, who was on a training mission ejected safely. The aircraft had just been transfered to the 4th FS from the 421st FS a few weeks earlier and new paint scheme applied. Cause of crash was simply a stall at 14,000 feet and aircraft pancaked onto the ground upside down. With no forward volocity at the time of impact, the crash site was little larger then the F-16 itself.
