Default Has Drebble been working on the Dutch's F-16s?

Today another Dutch F-16 crashed... (It's the 3rd Accident with a Dutch F-16 this year)...this time a 2-seater

Fortunatly nobody got hurt... pilots could use the ejection seats in time!

The Hague - An F-16 jet fighter of the Dutch Royal Air Force crashed Thursday at the Volkel air base in the south-eastern Netherlands Thursday, the Defence Ministry said in The Hague.

The pilot and co-pilot were able to use their ejector seats and escaped without injury during a landing exercise.

The F-16 is the third to have been lost by the Dutch in recent weeks.

In July, one of the US-designed aircraft came down off the Dutch coast. The pilot was rescued by helicopter.

Last month, a Dutch F-16 crashed over southern Afghanistan with the loss of the pilot. While the reason for the crash remains unclear, the Defence Ministry said at the time that the aircraft was flying too high for it to have been shot down.
