Belly landed at Torrejon AB, Spain when the pilot forgot to lower landing gear. Aircraft, which was on a delivery flight, landed on three external tanks. Damage was considered minimal but was damaged when the recovery crane dropped it from roughly 4 feet during recovery. Because of that the aircraft had to have a spar replaced so a CLSS team flew in from Hill AFB, Utah and fixed the aircraft within a week.

Flew into the ground near Aviano AB, Italy. Pilot ejected safely. The cause was determined that both AOA heaters failed and ice formed on the probes, driving the probes full down. This caused the LE flaps to full down and the aircraft flipped on its back. The aircraft impacted a snow covered slop, inverted, and slid to a stop. The jet was enroute from Torrejon AB, Spain when the accident occured. During ejection, the pilot received a gash to his jaw from his parachute harness.

Cause of the crash was a fuel shut-off valve, which is a safety device in case of a fire. The aircraft was flying from Holloman AFB, New Mexico to Ellington Field, Texas. The pilot felt a vibration followed by a bang which stopped the engine at an altitude of only 3,000 feet. The pilot re-light the engine and the same thing happened again. At this point the pilot, Captain Kenneth J. Gurry, ejected, because the aircraft was descending through 800 feet of altitude. The ejection occurred near League City, Texas. The ejection seat was repaired and used for training, then placed in the Texas Military Forces Museum.
