Crashed 1.5 miles Northwest of Hahn AB. The pilot, First Lieutenant Rick French, ejected safely. That day the weather was unfavorable with a nasty crosswind over the base which had many other aircraft crabbing in on final. On finals to runway 04 the aircraft hit the approach lights of runway 22 stripping the gear in the process and consequently lost hydraulics. The computer took over and sent the aircraft into a maximum burner climb, looped and consequently crashed in the woods off base.
