F-16 #85557
Was restored to flyable status but suffered a blow out of the tail section due to a fire during a Cope Thunder exercise. The pilot - Lt. Rob Ray - dead-stick landed it. It took 8 months to repair. Rumors were the aft section of a previously damaged block 40 was used to replace the tail of this aircraft. It was later unofficially labeled a block 35.
