An F-16 ran off the runway at Kunsan AB, South Korea, on Dec. 3, according to a base release. The pilot sustained no injuries and was safe, said officials with the base’s 8th Fighter Wing. They said they would release more details as they became available. The Air Force will investigate the incident to determine the cause, they said. Back in March, an F-16 assigned to Osan Air Base experienced engine failure and crashed northeast of Kunsan. The pilot escaped injury in that incident as well.
Members of the House Armed Services Committee say the AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile program has been set back three months due to the ongoing government shutdown. The comment is noteworthy because the JATM's status has been kept tightly under wraps.
