The aircraft, which was the number one Thunderbird, was badly damaged at Selfridge ANGB. A person drove his vehicle into the side of the Thunderbird F-16 at 70 miles per hour in what was later determined as a suicide. The crash tore out the port main undercarriage of the aircraft, and the aircraft was pushed 14 feet into another Thunderbird F-16C causing damage. The driver did not survive, and the time of the accident was about three in the morning. The aircraft was repaired at Ogden ALC and completed by April 1993. After its repair it was returned to Nellis AFB.

Crashed onto the Barry M. Goldwater range, Arizona. Aircraft experienced an engine failure due to FOD while participating in an ACM IUT sortie. The aircraft was flown by Capt. Eddie "Lizzard" Moran USMC, an F/A-18 pilot on exchange to the USAF. The engine had just been reinstalled in the airframe after returning from a civilian contractor located in Texas. This was the second flight after the installation. The first flight was flown by a student on an instrument training sortie. A tool was left inside the shroud that protects the levers that control the variable compressor blades.

This was the aircraft which crashed due to the pilots flight suit inflating causing the side stick to jam. The pilot was releiving himself and undid his lap belt. Unknowingly, the belt was wrapped around the stick and when he finally raised his seat up the aircraft went into an unwanted roll which could not be recovered. The pilot managed to eject safely. He unstrapped himself at 33,000 ft and initiated the ejection at 1,100 ft agl. The pilot was unbelted on ejection. This mishap occurred in the skies over Incirlik, Turkey while TDY.

Crashed in a residential area in the small town of Arum, Netherlands due to an unrecoverable engine stall. The pilot ejected safely, but a civilian on the ground was injured. The pilot was Captain Bob Verkroost who also ejected from F-16A J-625 on June 4th, 1988. This probably makes him the only Dutch pilot to eject twice from an F-16.
