Written off 19 November 1998 when the commander of the 55th Fighter Squadron ejected from this F-16 at Shaw AFB, South Carolina. Crashed about 2 miles from end of runway
Pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Robert Harvey, survived the ejection which occurred about 15:00 hours. The pilot ejected under a minute after take off. Cause of the crash was due to engine fuel control problems from a faulty A.C. generator which gave wrong signals to the Digital Engine Control (DEC). Just after the pilot left the aircraft, the engine regained power and flew for an additional thirty seconds before impacting the ground two miles from the end of the runway.
