Breaking: F-16 Crashes Over Arizona
Did a double-take, it says F-16 not 15.
PHOENIX — The military says an F-16 flying out of Arizona’s Luke Air Force Base has crashed northwest of Phoenix.
Base spokeswoman Mary Jo May says the aircraft went down around noon Friday.
She says the status of the pilot is unknown. The pilot was the only person on board.
Luke, in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, is the world’s largest F-16 training base.

Maybe that’s why it crashed……………..LOL

You are absolutely right…..a crash is no laughing matter. I wasn’t laughing at the crash……….I was laughing at what looks to me like a faked-up picture.
