F-16 TIJDENS TAXIËN VAN DE BAAN

Een F-16 gevechtsvliegtuig van de vliegbasis Volkel is gisteren tijdens het taxiën op de Canadese vliegbasis Cold Lake van de baan geraakt en in het gras terechtgekomen.

Bij het incident raakte het neuswiel van de F-16 beschadigd. De vlieger bleef ongedeerd. Het ongeval gebeurde in de aanloop naar de internationale oefening Maple Flag, waaraan volgende week elf Nederlandse toestellen deelnemen. Naar de toedracht van het incident is een onderzoek ingesteld

Cor phoned me and told me the following.
10.50 FB14
11.15 2x Mirage F1
11.20 FA126 + FA127
Unfortenately the Mirages where too high to read a number or code from the pic, maybe on the computer screen.

Thanks Cor for the information.
