Avion F-16c koji pripada 49. vingu američke ratne avijacije, stacioniran u Avio bazi Holoman, srušio se, a pilot se katapultirao i lakše je povređen.
To je peti pad američkih borbenih aviona od maja ove godine.
A USAF F-16 Viper from the 49 WG crashed during landing at Holloman AFB at approximately 1800 MDT today. The sole pilot on board successfully ejected and is currently being treated for minor injuries.
