The aircraft was on a routine training mission at 11:00 hours local time when the pilot noticed a landing gear malfunction. Shortly after touchdown at Ramat David AFB, while still moving at 140 knots, the pilot noticed the port main landing gear was not supporting the plane.
The landing gear collapsed and the left wing hit the runway, making the F-16 veer of the runway sharply. The crew ejected immediately, and moments later the aircraft overturned. Both crew members survived the ejection
In May 2011, after 6 years of work, repairs to this aircraft were finally completed. The airframe was taken apart completely, and all broken parts repaired or replaced. On 3 July 2012, the two crew who had ejected from this aircraft were re-united with it for the first time in over seven years
