Cali Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Hope the pilot is safe, certainly doesn't sound good though. Reminds me of a jet that went down at Luke, the pilot blacked out and nose dived into the ground at over 400kts. i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED
Karon Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Italian newspapers say that the pilot has reported an "unspecified problem". His leader (or wingman) was 'blind' on him, therefore he can't say if the F-16 has crashed. UPDATE: Coast Guard has found some fuel traces and are looking for the pilot in that area.

Vekkinho Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Croatia also participates in SAR with few ships. I've heard it on the radio today. They also said that pilot didn't eject but I hope it ain't true. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
