Written off 18 March 1997 when collided with F-16D 86-0040 from the same squadron over the Gulf of Mexico. Five F-16's were in an air-to-air photo session. The F-16D was passing under three F-16C's when it hit 86-0040 at approximately 11:45 EST, at 25'02.09" north latitude, 08'128.38" west longitude, and at 25,700 feet
