F16 CRASH YESTERDAY

[1958 delivery]

If you heard about the F16 that crashed yesterday in Calif here it is, from the inside. It crashed into my friends warehouse

 

[Don Jacks]

Man,what a mess! I hope that the pilot got out ok.

 

[IMBVSUR?]

Hope everyone is ok. That is a really bad parking job though.

 

[La Hot Rods]

That looks expensive.

Pilot ejected before crash. News says 4 people on ground hurt. I don't think anything real serious.

 

[Phil Reed]

Hope everyone is ok. That is a really bad parking job though.

I think it was a masterful job of parking the plane in the building and not on the freeway!!!!!!!!!!

All aircraft with ejection seats are non-reuseable throw away containers. Emergency procedures are very simple.

SOMETHING WRONG…….EJECT

I've never had that luxury.

Yeh, I was in Huey’s, no ejection seats either, just get close and jump

Did it run out of fuel ?, no explosion and fire by the look of the news images and Mikes.

 

[IMBVSUR?]

At least it wasn't something vintage or an F35

When we first got the new F-16's at MacDill in 1980, we had so many crash they started calling them lawn darts. I worked on them when they were brand new, coming off of F-4's and I thought they were amazing. Now they're 41 years old...

Lawn darts..... I'd say it was pretty lucky a lot of people on the ground didn't bite the dust.

For sure. Usually, 4 or 5 houses become inferno's.
