You'll have that happen when you crash a 15 million dollar jet...
Glad he made it out safely too. And he did so just barely, with about a second to spare.
Thank god for ejection seats.

Honestly I don't remember what they cost now. When they originally came up with the F16 concept it was to cost about 1/3 what an F15 cost. I bet it is probably 10 times that 15 mil number I threw out... I was just fishin in the air for the number...

I seem to remember a few years back general dynamics got a contract to refurbish 'em for more then new ones (can't remember the plane ) would cost......
