One of the F-16's that Keith used to work on at Mt Home crashed during a training mission at Nellis AFB. You can read about it at
http://www.f-16.net/news_article2230.html
The aircraft crashed at 20:50 hours local near the end of the runway, while on approach to the Tonopah Test Range Airfield, approximately 20 miles southeast of Tonopah. The aircraft was flying a night training mission over the restricted Nevada Test and Training Range when his After Burner was stuck. The pilot tried to make an emergency landing but the lights at the airfield didn't come on, so he tried it with his Night Vision Goggles. Right before he came in, the runway lights came on and he was blinded. He then saw he was short and after he took off the NVG's he ejected safely.
This is what happens when you let them out of your sight for a couple of weeks.
