F-16 jet utterly destroyed in £35million airbase gaffe after another fighter plane accidentally open
« on: October 12, 2018, 07:00:15 pm »
A £35million fighter jet may has been destroyed and a second jet riddled with bullets when someone in a parked F-16 accidentally opened fire.

The F-16 Falcon jet - which was filled with 10,000 litres of kerosine - exploded as a result of the bullets' impact, according to reports in Belgium.

A second adjacent F-16 was damaged in the incident, which happened at the Florennes air base, 60 miles south of Brussels.

Opp's.   The Belgium AF is out of service.  They lost both their planes.

I'm confused, not as much as the guy that was in the F-16, but how do accidentally open fire?
