Ex-USAF 84-1359, delivered 30 October 1986. Written off 23 September 1992 when crashed into a residential area in the small town of Arum, near Lollum, 4 miles south of Franeker, Netherlands, due to an unrecoverable engine stall, after several attempts to re-light the engine failed.
(Arum is a small village in the Dutch province of Friesland. It is located in the municipality of Wûnseradiel, about 5 km south east of the city of Harlingen).
The pilot ejected safely, but a civilian on the ground was injured. The pilot was Captain Bob Verkroost who has previously ejected from F-16A J-625 on 4 June, 1988. This probably makes him the only Dutch pilot to eject twice from an F-16.
