Strong winds are believed to have been the cause of a retired F-16 plane flipping on top of another Fighting Falcon at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.
Winds gusts of 66 mph most probably caused the accident at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona.
F-16ADF (MM7248 formerly leased to the Italian Air Force) and F-16C 84-1246 “LF”, both kept in storage by the 309thAerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) at the local “Boneyard,” were involved in the incident.
