kUNSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea (AFPN) -- An Air Force F-16 was involved in a mishap about 7:30 p.m. March 18 (Korean Time) while landing at Kimhae International Air Port, Pusan, Republic of Korea.
The aircraft was part of a two-ship formation that left Osan Air Base, R.O.K., and was forced to divert to Kimhae because of weather.
The F-16's landing gear was damaged, but the pilot, Maj. David L. Orr, from the 35th Fighter Squadron, here, safely got out of the aircraft after it stopped and was not injured.
A recovery team from Kunsan is on scene at Kimhae. A board of officers will investigate the mishap. (Courtesy of Pacific Air Forces News Service).
