RNlAF F-16AM #J-637 from 312 sqn is 'parked' in a rather strange position off the runway at Manas AB on November 4th, 2004. [Photo by Falconniek]
The aircraft went off the runway during taxiing at Manas AB, Kyrgyzstan. The nose gear collapsed after exiting the runway. Probable cause of the incident was that one of its brakes was broke and all the hydraulic fluid was lost. Waiting to be repaired. Supposed to fly again in August of 2005.
