F-16 crash/accident at Sigonella

Looks pretty bad, if you ask me....

I wonder whether it will be repaired....

Best regards Rob.

Looking at the photo it seems to be a F-16F two seater, this makes it 3004 as the only F-16F UAE/AF deployed to Deci/Sigonella.
Needs to be confirmed....

That is definately not a F-16F, it is a single seater.....

3004 is an F-16F (photoproof at URL: http://www.f-16.net/gallery_item434534.html )

Yeah so??? That's not the question....

The question was, which F-16 crashed at Sigonella, and that is definately a E-model.
So the crashed F-16, can't be 3004.

Why is it ,,definately an E-model''? I can't tell from that pic, but you can?

[r.e.hendriks]

If you make the picture a little bit bigger, you'll see its a E-model.
And the last digit of the aircraft looks like a 0 or 8. At least a round digit.
With 3004, 3040, 3048, 3049, 3068 and 3077 in Italy. My guess is, that its not 3004 or 3077.

Furthermore, al news articles mention only one pilot....

But, lets just wait and see, it will probably be confirmed soon as spotters still visit Italy and will see only five operational UAE F-16s.

Best regards Rob.

Ah, ok thanks.

Strange story. Which F-16E is showed on the photo taken by the RDAF?

Hi Rob,

I think the conformal fuel tank is misleading and masking the fuselage around the 2nd cockpit.
