Can anyone confirm it's <a href="http://www.f-16.net/aircraft-database/F-16/airframe-profile/210/">#ET-210</a> then? Can anyone confirm the severity of the crash, meaning being able to repair it or is it a write-off?

I think "emergency landing" is a bit more accurate than "crash" in this case.
Can also mention that the Americans will make the investigation.
Bjorn, if there are no other Danish F-16 in the US, then we can rule out any other planes. I think it's the only one, but not sure. |

I'm sorry, but I used google translate. But you're right, it was an emergency landing.
