Hope the pilot is safe. It’s been a rough week for F-16 drivers.

I will never forget when a Thunderbird F-100 flamed out on takeoff at Laughlin AFB back in 1964 and went through the boondocks and came to rest a foot off of HW 90 next to a “No Parking” sign. The picture was priceless.

Two people on board + happened during a practice (pre-air show flight) => Probably a reporter on the demonstration flight. Back seater did something wrong?

First reports are a wind gust blew it over. We are dealing with the remnants of tropical storm Cindy today. Heavy rain and wind.

They just moved in some heavy equipment to block the view of the cameras. This is not a good sign.....................

Back seater did something wrong? 'What's this lever do?"
Really shouldn't make light of this.
Hope all is well.

Scratch one lawn dart.
The F16 has a high loss rate due to the single engine design. How long til they run out.

No. I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to keep the shiny side up.

Hmmmm. The bulletin didn’t mention billowing smoke and crackling sounds. It seems to be more than a fender bender.
