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.
The 13th Fighter Squadron from Misawa Air Base, Japan, deployed its new F-35A fighters to a major exercise for the first time, sending them to Pacific Air Forces’ premier air combat training event: Red Flag-Alaska.
