The aircraft was being towed from the Foxtrot taxiway (next to the alternative runway) coming from the washing area called a "birdbath" when the right wing hit some of the "birdbath" structure. The TSgt who was driving for some reason swerved the aircraft towards the birdbath instead of keeping it in the center of the taxiway. The structure of the birdbath stuck on the right wing pulling it off the taxiway. Most of the damage was the result of the nose gear collapsing in contact with the soft ground

Damaged in flight during an air refueling with a KC-10A #83-0081 at 10:31 hours. The aircraft landed safely but it is estimated to be some time to be repaired as a bulkhead was severely damaged. Closure rate of the F-16 to the KC-10 was slightly higher then normal. The boom operator pulled the boom up too quickly and in an effort to prevent the boom from hitting the tail of the KC-10 the boom operator overcompensated and the boom came back down hitting the F-16. This was barely a class A mishap.
