Heavily damaged at Porotoz, Slovenia during Operation Deny Flight. Pilot ejected safely and aircraft was repaired.

Quote from pilot Andy Uribe, at the time of quote a Lt. Col.

"I was returning from a combat mission over Sarajevo and the aircraft developed an engine problem. I did a flameout landing on a short runway in Slovenia but was unable to stop the jet and ejected as it departed the runway. I was 'detained' by the Slovenians for about three hours, then released.

"When everything was happening I really didn't have any emotions or fear, I was just doing what I had been trained to do. Only when I was sitting on the X-ray table at the hospital did I realize how serious the situation had been. Had all the equipment not functioned perfectly I would have been seriously injured or killed."
