F16 at Bagram AB, Afghanistan

December 19, 2002 (by Lieven Dewitte) - On 19 December 2002, RDAF (Royal Danish Air Force) block 15 F-16A 87-0006 (LM Type/Version 6F-49, F100-PW-200 engine) was significantly damaged when it ran off the end of the runway at Bagram AB, Afghanistan. The pilot landed at night after a weather divert into Bagram AB but could not stop the aircraft on the wet runway.
Runway was reportedly very slick due to moisture and dust. There was no arresting gear available and the pilot ejected successfully (no injury).
The aircraft came to a stop in a mine field. The nose landing gear collapsed, the radome was damaged, the targeting pod was torn off, and the engine ingested FOD. The damaged aircraft was successfully hoisted from the minefield by a CH-47 Chinook helicopter.
