Hi all,
F16 Viper - 96-0080 / SP
Aircraft halted display due to a "mechanical issue".

Interesting pic there Benjamin. Was it determined how the rear tail section became so damaged ?

How quick would it be to repair the damage? Is the F-16 still at Fairford or did it leave yesterday?

I left at 1530 but it remained in one of the hangars all day. German Torndao that went tech for NATO flypast also didn't move all day.
