MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE, Idaho — Capt. Christopher Stricklin ejects from the USAF Thunderbirds number six aircraft less than a second before it impacted the ground at an air show at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, Sept. 14. Stricklin, who was not injured, ejected after both guiding the jet away from the crowd of more than 60,000 people and ensuring he could not save the aircraft. This was only the second crash since the Air Force began using F-16 Falcons for its demonstration team in 1982. The ACES II ejection seat performed flawlessly. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.

Description

Deutsch: Hauptmann Christopher Stricklin katapultiert sich am 14. September 2003 aus dem sechsten Flugzeug der U.S.Air Force Thunderbirds, weniger als eine Sekunde bevor es bei einer Flugshow auf der Mountain Home Air Force Base (Idaho) auf dem Boden aufschlug. Er erlitt keine Verletzungen. Er lenkte das Flugzeug zunächst von einer mehr als 60000 Personen zählenden Zuschauermenge weg. Als er bemerkte, dass es nicht mehr möglich war, das Flugzeug zu retten, aktivierte er den Schleudersitz. Gemäß dem Bericht einer Flugunfalluntersuchung wurde der Unfall, der kurz nach dem Start stattfand, von einem Pilotenfehler ausgelöst. Das Flugzeug im Wert von 20,4 Millionen U$D erlitt dabei einen Totalschaden. Dabei handelte es sich um den zweiten Flugzeugabsturz, seitdem die Air Force F16-Falcons seit 1982 für Demonstrationszwecke verwendet.

English: Capt. Christopher Stricklin ejects from the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds number six aircraft less than a second before it impacted the ground at an air show at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, Sept. 14. Stricklin, who was not injured, ejected after both guiding the jet away from the crowd of more than 60,000 people and determining that he couldn't save the aircraft. According to the accident investigation board report Stricklin's error caused a Thunderbirds F-16C to crash shortly after takeoff. The aircraft, valued at about $20.4 million, was destroyed. This was the second crash since the Air Force began using F-16 Falcons for its demonstration team in 1982.

Le capitaine Stricklin est arrivé à éloigner son avion de la foule de 60 000 personnes massée ce jour-là pour voir le spectacle aérien. Après avoir constaté l'impossibilité de sauver l'appareil, il a activé son siège éjectable, qui a parfaitement fonctionné. Le pilote s'en est sorti indemne. Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, États-Unis. 14 Septembre 2003.
