Great that the pilot is OK.
Too bad about the plane and it will cost to repair it or get a new one, but accidents happen.
Never saw a "non-military F16" ... have you?
WOW! Didn’t hear a damned thing. Thank GOD the pilot is OK. Yeah we are that close. Use Meridian to go to S & F, and Costco. Just there Yesterday.
California Air National Guard base.
“Military F16”
Is there any other kind??
God bless all the heroes practicing their high-speed skills and instincts. Thanks Lord for the safe eject.

More likely they are worried about hydrazine.
Was that the warehouse where all the “Spygate” and Hitlery’s State Department records are store?

So loaded with armaments and at least some fuel, crashes into a building and no fire. Hey, I’m glad there wasn’t a fire, but I’m having a hard time figuring out why.
And because F-16s have hydrazine onboard.
If it had live weapons, it was a NORAD alert bird.
Are there any non-military F-16 fighter jets out there?
I want to cry at times for what the media is doing to our beautiful language.
They’re probably worried about the hydrazine tank that the EPU runs off of. You worry about ordinance exploding but you don’t wear full hazmat gear when handling with ordinance.
