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."

Jumped the chocks during a hot oil servicing run at Eielson AFB, Alaska and slid 400ft sideways across the ramp on hard packed snow. The aircraft ended up in a balancing act on its nose and starboard wing on the ground and port landing gear in the air. The aircraft was fixed, although there was extensive damage. A ground crew member in the cockpit was fine. A few years later, the aircraft ended up in the exact same position after being tipped over by the engine exhaust of a taxying B-1B.

Tipped over on its side again this time while taxiing before take off for a Red Flag North sortie. During taxi roll the aircraft wandered behind a B-1B which was spooling up to move out onto the runway. The exhaust of the four engines on the B-1 was powerful enough to blow the aircraft up on two wheels on its right side. This aircraft had previously been on its same side when it went out of control just a few years earlier on February 6, 2003. Just like before the aircraft will be repaired. It is unclear yet if the B-1 applied too much thrust for ground taxiing or the F-16 was out of position.

Main gear collapsed and a crewmember was injured by the port wing stabilizer. The tail of the aircraft came down and wrecked the ventral fins. Here are the events as described by that crewmember: "There had been changes made to the order in which normal maintenance inspections were performed. Basically our normal way of doing things had been changed. These changes are what allowed this mishap to occur. The evening before I reported for work my swing-shift counterpart found a cracked landing gear handle lense. In the course of fixing the handle someone inadvertently left the handle in the up position. Therefore when the pilot started the jet the main landing gear retracted. I received an L2 compression fracture, a dislocated right ankle, and a broken fibula". This incident happened at Hato, Curaçao. All flying was cancelled for the day. The aircraft was returned to flying status by May 18th, 2001.
