I saw an early F-16 (Block 10) where the flight control computers apparently had some sort of fight for control.

The pilot G-LOC'd several times but eventually got things under control and landed.

When you got up close to the jet you could see very defined ripples down the backbone. Scratch one Falcon from the inventory.

Gotta like those early fly-by-wire systems.
