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.
