An F-16 ran off the runway at Kunsan AB, South Korea, on Dec. 3, according to a base release. The pilot sustained no injuries and was safe, said officials with the base’s 8th Fighter Wing. They said they would release more details as they became available. The Air Force will investigate the incident to determine the cause, they said. Back in March, an F-16 assigned to Osan Air Base experienced engine failure and crashed northeast of Kunsan. The pilot escaped injury in that incident as well.
A provision in the fiscal 2025 defense policy bill will require the Defense Department to include the military occupational specialty of service members who die by suicide in its annual report on suicide deaths, though it remains to be seen how much data the department will actually disclose.
