F-16 Aircraft Database

Ran off the runway at Salt Lake City International Airport in/about 1981. Had extensive damage to the right wing and fuselage. The wing was replaced from a block 10 aircraft. An interesting note to this repair is that the fuselage was reassembled on wooden cradles, with no precision alignment. The misalignment was discovered when the boresight was accomplished after repair, the fuselage was "twisted" to the right approx .250" from the F.S. 189 bulkhead forward. The gun and HUD mounts had to be moved .250" to compensate. It actually turned out to be the 466th TFS's best bomber after that. Anyone know the exact date of this mishap or more information please let us know.

Dead stick landing but was repaired.

Crashed after a mid-air with an F-4E Phantom II (68-0546, 222). Pilot Major Ehud Ben Amitay was killed as well as the pilot of the F-4, Dan Weiss. The navigator of the F-4, Eliezer Adar, was rescued

Crashed near Ville-du-Bois (not far from Vielsalm), Belgium killing pilot Captain Jean-Marie Paul. During a low level interception an actuator from the leading edge automatic flap broke

Went down over the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida. The crash was caused by a fuel pump failure. The aircraft was recovered but damage was extensive to the cockpit area. The aircraft remains were brought back to MacDill AFB and stored in a hanger Everything was removed forward of the intake and it was used as a maintainace trainer for a while.

Crashed at Holloman AFB, New Mexico due to fuel starvation. After being written-off, it was transferred to Lowry TTC as a GF-16A

At 1:09 local time the main generator warning light came on and the EPU started. The pilot Major John Cary who was part of a four ship flight advised of his emergency and tried to make it to Buckley ANGB. After flying in for five minutes on the EPU, that failed and flight controls were lost. Major Cary ejected at 1000 feet with a 90 degree nose down near Elizabeth, Colorado. Injuries were sore neck, chipped tooth and swollen eye which resulted in temporary blindness. This was caused by the high negative G's the aircraft pulled (-6G during a pitch down). The reason for the failure was due to an EPU overspeed which caused an over voltage to the flight control computer causing it to shut down.

Suffered a collision with a goose and crashed at Lake Tunhovd, Norway. The pilot, Morten Køpke, ejected with minor injuries.

An engine problem brought down this aircraft in Lauwersmeer, Netherlands. The pilot managed to eject safely

Went down in Great Salt Lake , Utah.

Crashed in the Utah Test & Training Range, killing the pilot, Captain J. Edgington Moats. All USAF F-16's were grounded two days later. It was the F-16's second grounding. Cause of accident was a malfunctioning bleed air valve which allowed bleed air to leak out onto the EPU, causing an electrical surge that shut down the flight control computer

Crashed in Waddenzee, Netherlands which is near Ameland. The pilot ejected safely
