It could be a return of the ol “stray voltage” problem, remember the F16 is fly by wire and over 30 crashed in its first 36 months of operations back in the late 70s & early 80s due to bad wire harnesses, etc.

Glad he got of unharmed.

From what I heard from someone who was there, it may have been ice on the runway that was the cause of the problem.
