F-16Bs grounded due to crack patterns?

October 15, 2006 (by Lieven Dewitte) - F-16.net received the news that two weeks ago, the F-16Bs (two-seat training version) used by Nato forces were grounded. Supposedly a crack pattern along the rear of the canopy is to blame.

The last we've heard was that all activities are suspended for 12 weeks to begin with.
