Narrative:
Crashed near Willow Growe, Johnston County, NC on Jun 4, 2003, at 16:51 local time. Both crew survived. (Other sources state crash was at Newton Grove (NC), about 35 miles southeast of Raleigh)

The aircraft departed controlled flight due to a major flight control malfunction during a Basic Fighter Maneuvers (BFM) training. As a result of improper depot level repair, the right stabilator stuck in a full 25-degree trailing edge up position, thus rendering the aircraft unrecoverable.

The pilot 1st Lt. Christopher Jackson and the instructor pilot, Maj. John Voorhees ejected safely at 9.080 feet MSL 35 miles north of Seymour-Johnson AFB, NC and landed in a wooden area suffering only minor injuries. The aircraft has been destoyed by ground impact and subsequent fire in an unpopulated area.
