From Osan's FB page:

UPDATE: After landing from a training mission, a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot ejected from an F-16 Fighting Falcon assigned to the 36th Fighter Squadron at approximately 5 p.m.

The pilot was taken to the 51st Medical Group clinic and was listed in good condition.

"We are relieved that our Mustang pilot ejected safely, and is now in the good hands of our medical team," said Col. Andrew Hansen, 51 Fighter Wing commander. "We are currently focused on thoroughly investigating the cause of this incident in order to minimize the chances of it happening again in the future."

A board of officers will investigate the incident as part of a safety investigation board.

I'm thinking he dropped his pencil in the wrong spot and tried to retrieve it.

Is that 4 f-16 crashes in the last 7 years at Osan after touchdown? 

I get it.  Korean food always used to give me the runs too.  When you gotta go....

other than directly caused by the ejection, any damage to the plane?  Was he on roll out our what?  Last time, I remember seeing pics of the F-16 inverted sticking out of the mud with landing gear extended...

I'm thinking he dropped his pencil in the wrong spot and tried to retrieve it.

Could've been VM.
