that's something new : a ground-to-ground kill.
will that other F-16 now get a 'Kill-marking' ?

Friendly fire is usually not rewarded with a kill marking ;-)

The big difference here is that two maintenance crew members were injured in the blast. If they were really close when it happened, the damage to their hearing could be very serious.

The second F-16 is the FA-129. He received several bullets on his vertical tail and throught his engine..
