Eine F-16 der Thunderbirds ist wohl vor wenigen Minuten auf der Dayton Airshow nach der Landung verunfallt.
Man spricht von einem Flip-over, sie hat sich wohl auf die Nase gestellt. Edit: es war wohl doch ein vollständiger flip-over und beide Insassen befanden sich jetzt gerade noch in der Maschine. Der Pilot wurde gerade vor wenigen Minuten geborgen.

Update: der Zweite wurde gerade aus der Maschine gerettet.
Ein Augenzeuge berichtet folgendes zum Hergang:

Dayton Daily News photographer Ty Greenlees is on the scene. He reports photographer Ricardo von Puttkammer told him he saw the two-seat Thunderbird land and taxi toward the staging area when it appeared that a gust of wind flipped the F-16 on its top.

Wie stark muss denn eine Windböe sein, um eine F-16 auf's Dach zu legen?

Aus PPrune.org:
"Listening to the tapes, sounds like Thunderbird 8 went off the end (or side) of runway 6L after an ILS approach with heavy weather in the vicinity.

Thunderbird 8 is normally the callsign of the advance pilot and narrator.

T-bird 8 had earlier shot a missed approach to 24R with reports of extreme precip and windshear in the vicinity of the DAY airport. He discussed diverting for fuel and called his ops while he was loitering in the MOA between approaches. He decided to try an ILS to 6L, requested 'short vectors'. Tower winds reported 340/13G21, RVR 6000+.

After landing T-bird 8 reported that they were in the overrun. News reports said the aircraft was inverted and the occupant extrication may have been lengthy.

Time of the mishap was around 1630Z from the recordings.

"Looks like it's on the grass. If the aircraft left the hard surface with some sideways drift, it wouldn't take much to dig a wheel in. The F-16 has a fairly narrow track undercarriage."

Beide Insassen sind geborgen und wohlauf!
