Suffered a broken throttle incident, but landed safely. The incident was caused by faulty maintenance. The jet had less than 100 flying hours when during an engine change the throttle quadrant was not connected during a test run. The fuel quadrant was set to first stage of AB but without throttle control, once the engine started there was no stopping it (main fuel shutoff valve control was also disconnected). The plane shot across the ramp, ripped all main gear off crossing a ditch and was airborne for close to 200ft before it bellied in and FOD'ed out the engine. The wings were removed and the jet was trucked back to the GD factory for repairs.

Written off when a fuel line came loose while in the pattern at Wright-Patterson, starting a fire inside the engine bay. the pilot declared an emergency and immediately attempted to land on the runway, touching down before the gear was fully extended. The tail hit the runway but the jet landed safely and remained on the runway. It was then used for Aircraft Battle Damage Repair Training (BDRT), even after the squadron exchanged the type for C-141's. Eventually it was scrapped after spending several years in the BDRT section of the base. - Thanks Jake Melampy
