The report says 2 things:
the pilot ejected after landing
the pilot ejected on the flightline

I understand that most aircraft taxi to a flightline after landing, but was this an unintended ejection or not? Or was is the result of a landing incident?

I remember US military personnel talking about a flightline, when actually meaning the runway. That might have been the case here as well.

Looks like it landed without its gear extended. F-16 is fairly intact
