This Georgia Air National Guard Eagle crashed on 17 December 1993. It came down off the coast of Brunswick (GA) into the Atlantic Oceana after colliding with F-16A 82-0927 of the 184th FS (Arkansas ANG). The F-16 crashed too, sadly killing its pilot, while the Eagle pilot managed to ejected to safetly.
