The Lefty Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 More bad news for the year. A nickel on the grass for another good dude. No word on base, just "shortly after takeoff" and not combat related. http://www.businessinsider.com/an-american-f-16-pilot-was-killed-in-a-crash-in-the-middle-east-2014-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Dunno if anyone has seen this yet, but the AIB must have been released. (I'm out of the cockpit for a while, so I lost my AFSAS access and haven't read the SIB yet, so this is best I can do...) http://www.airforcetimes.com/story/military/2015/07/13/air-force-f16-crash-december-2014/30077961/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Man Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 "Despite published [squadron] guidance to the contract, this 'self set-up' approach by members of the [squadron] was a common practice within the squadron," the report states. Leaders had taken steps to stop pilots from setting up their own approaches in this way, but they had not been effective. Wow...that sounds like some serious CYA shit.
