While landing in a severe cross wind, the jet departed the runway during landing roll at Osan AB, Korea. Right main landing gear collapsed and was ripped off the aircraft leaving a hole in bulkhead 341 where the strut mounts the clevis. Much more damage was done to the entire airframe. When the engine was removed, pry bars were used to open the CSD door because the standby generator and the system pump had been crushed together. Although a class-A mishap, the aircraft was still repaired and returned to the 36th FS.

The aircraft suffered a landing gear failure near Spangdahlem AB after hitting an antenna during a landing attempt. It ran out of fuel before the problem could be fixed and the pilot, 1st Lieutenant Trevor Merrell, executed a controlled bailout. The accident was caused by a visual illusion at Spangdahlem AB. The runway has an upslope, making the pilot think he is coming in too high, forcing him to take a lower approach, with all consequences.

Experienced an engine fire during takeoff roll at Luke AFB, Arizona but aborted before lift off. Fire crews sprayed foam on the aircraft and the pilot was treated at the scene. Early reports said the pilot ejected, this turned out not to be the case as images from the scene show the canopy still in place. Early reports also incorrectly reported that the aircraft tookoff and returned to Luke AFB with an emergency landing. Excerpt from the crash report: "After being cleared for takeoff, Colonel Sherman taxied to the left side of the runway accompanied by Captain Cuadra on the right side. Upon ignition of the afterburner, Colonel Sherman heard an explosion and noticed that a fire had started on his aircraft. His wingman transmitted "Fire" on the radio and Colonel Sherman applied full brakes and initiated the appropriate critical action procedures to abort the takeoff due to fire and preparing to get out of the stopped, but burning aircraft. He was able to open the canopy and safely exit the F-16. Members of the Luke AFB fire department extinguished the aircraft fire". Cause was determined to be a failure of the 3rd stage when the disc fractured putting three holes in the airframe. The resulting fire burned the entire aft section of the aircraft.
