NATO: F-16 crash-lands on Italian airbase
BRUSSELS — An F-16 fighter-bomber from the United Arab Emirates crashed on landing Wednesday at an air base in southern Italy after completing a transfer flight from another base, officials said.
He said the pilot ejected safely after landing on the outbound runway at the air base at Sigonella in western Sicily at 11:35 am.
The official, who could not be named in line with standing regulations, said the warplane had just arrived from an air base in Sardinia.
Sigonella is located about 360 miles (600 kilometers) north of Libya's capital, Tripoli. It has been used extensively by aircraft from several NATO nations for bombing missions over Libya. Non-NATO nations participating in the operation, including Sweden and the United Arab Emirates, also use it.
Italian police have opened a probe into the crash landing, NATO said in a statement.
The alliance declined to reveal which country the F-16 belonged to, but the General Command of the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces confirmed that one of its planes had veered off the runway, forcing the pilot to eject.
