The Israeli Defence Force / Air Force 109 Squadron F-16D '014' suffered a landing gear problem when landing at Ramat David Air Force Base around mid-day on Tuesday 3rd May 2005. The aircraft landing gear collapsed causing the F-16 to veer off the runway. Both pilot and navigator ejected using ACES II ejection seats at about 140 knots with zero altitude. Seconds later the F-16 turned over. Both crew were taken to hospital for routine medical tests.
