...found the end of a Falcon on a search..the report follows

General Dynamics F-16C Block 50B Fighting Falcon
c/n CC-34/36
0337 (F-16CJ, 52nd TW, 22nd FS) struck antenna at Spangdahlem AB, Germany
Sep 14, 2006. Pilot reported undercarriage problem which was still
unresolved when plane became low on fuel. Pilot flew the aircraft
to an open area 10 mi N of base and ejected. Plane crashed near
Oberkail. AFM Nov 2006. An investigation revealed that the
upslope at SW end of runway at Spahgdahlem AB produces
an optical illusion leading pilots to believe that they
are approaching too high, in this case it led the pilot
to descend too soon and strike the antenna, which has now
to be removed. (AFM 3/07)
