Photo Comment

This F-16AM of 2 Wing was involved in a weird accident at Leeuwarden air base (Netherlands) and written off on 1 July 2021. It is said that during start-up the engine kicked into afterburner after which the F-16 jumped the chocks and ran into a building opposite the flightline. The pilot ejected in time and was slightly injured. Besides the pilot two other persons were slightly injured that were working in the building.
