This aircraft made an emergency landing Ninoy Aquino Manila International AP, Philippines due to hydraulic problems. Aircraft was on a return leg from Cope India 05 and was not damaged. Volunteers had to be recruited to push the aircraft to it's parkings space on the ramp as the aircraft lost power after landing. A US Air Force C-130 aircraft arrived Thursday 08 Dec at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 to deliver a new engine for the F-16. It was initially reported that the jet lost its hydraulics and emergency brakes en route to the Misawa Air Base in Japan. Inspection of the jet, piloted by Capt. Justin Dupuis, showed that its engine had to be replaced.

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.
