F-16 destroyed after friendly fire on Belgian air base

A Belgian F-16 fighter was damaged beyond repair on October 11, 2018, on Florennes Air Base (ICAO: EBFS) near Dinant, Belgium. The F-16, which was parked on the airbase apron, received shots… from another fighter! The incident injured one person.

The Belgian armed forces initially reported that one fighter was destroyed by a fire and a second one was damaged, without mentioning the cause of the incident.

But according to a representative of the Belgian union SLFP, an army ground worker who was carrying out maintenance on another F-16 triggered the plane’s M61A1 Vulcan cannon and shot two other aircraft that were parked nearby.
