In 2006/07 I spoke with a 2-star who was a Viper pilot in his earlier life (I knew him then when I was an enlisted maintainer at Luke Dec '82 to Jun '85) and he said the guy flying this jet on the mishap sortie was also the same guy who was flying F-16A, 78-0004 at Luke (also with the 310 TFTS) when it shelled its engine and crashed in the desert.
In a bit of irony, I was at Luke when 78-0004 went down and I was at George AFB, CA working as a Command Post Officer Emergency Actions Controller the morning that this jet went down and did the OPREP reporting to 12th Air Force and HHQ.
