IAF F-16 glides off runway; no injuries

Published: 12.26.12, 10:55

An Israeli Air Force F-16 fighter plane which conducted a routine training flight on Tuesday, was harmed after gliding off the runway at the Ramat David base in the Jezreel Valley.

There were no injuries and an initial inquiry suggests that the reason for the incident stems from a technical difficulty and not the pilot's human error.

The rare incident occurred at the flight's end, when the plane landed procedurally and drove on the runway for after-flight treatment. (Yoav Zitun)

The F-16 it may be tricky when get out of the runway. I remember the picture of a portuguese F-16 that during a runway escape, forced the pilot to eject because the aircraft went out of control.
