Pilot received a warning light indicating a failure of the nose gear to lock. Upon landing the pilot kept the nose up as long as possible, but when the nose came down the nose gear did collapse. Damage was not extensive and was repaired and flew again at Luke AFB. Exact date of the mishap is unknown but believed to have happened in 1985.

Saw a lot of weapons and configurations that were not yet in Air Force inventory. I was the crew chief on A/C 81-761 while deployed to Holloman AFB, NM. It was the first F-16 to track, and launch the "new" AMMRAM at multiple targets.
