US Air Force Thunderbird Flipped Over During Accident in Ohio (PHOTOS)

19:29 GMT 23.06.2017 (Updated: 11:45 GMT 06.08.2022)

Thunderbird F-16 crash, Dayton, Ohio, June 23, 2017 - Sputnik International

A Thunderbird F-16 military jet was involved in a crash Friday afternoon during a practice run for the Dayton Air Show in Ohio. Officials believe the crash may have been caused by a strong gust of wind.

The US Air Force jet reportedly flipped over and landed upside down in the crash, meaning teams of emergency workers had to be dispatched to extract the two Air Force personnel inside. Pilot Lt. Col. Kevin Walsh of the US Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron was taken to the hospital after the crash.

A crash team was sent from nearby Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and there were no fuel leaks or fires reported.
