Wisconsin National Guard F-16 jet crashes, pilot safe

MINNEAPOLIS | Tue Jun 7, 2011 4:38pm EDT

MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - A single-seat F-16 fighter jet from the Wisconsin National Guard crashed on Tuesday while on a routine training mission in central Wisconsin, but the pilot ejected safely, the National Guard said in a statement.

The pilot from the Madison, Wisconsin-based 115th Fighter Wing of the Wisconsin Air National Guard was recovered in Adams County, Wisconsin, and was being evaluated, the National Guard said.

The F-16 went down Tuesday afternoon while doing a training flight from Volk Field and there were no reported injuries on the ground, Lieutenant Colonel Jackie Guthrie said in a telephone interview.

The National Guard has requested an Air Force team to investigate the cause of the accident.

Hi,

Today I received a copy of August2011 AFM. The crashed WI ANG F-16C should be 87-0242.
18 years ago it belongs to 86FW at Ramstein AB, marked as the 86WG commander and attended the KLu Open day at Eindhoven, July 1993.

Here it comes into land at Eindhoven, July 1993.
