More infomation on the crash. http://www.azcentral.com/community/g...sh0314-ON.html

Looks like not the greatest areas to go down in as there is not much out there in terms of rescue and medical services.

Still no word on the fate of the pilot or has the crash site been spotted. F-16.net is reporting the crashed F-16 to be 84-1273 a "C" Model Block 25

Just read a report that claims witnesses didnt see a parachute. Seems pilot might of blacked out pulling some high G's. Doesn't seem like this one is going to have a happy ending. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,338048,00.html

The pilots body has been found. The disturbing thing i see is the fact that they found a parachute and g-suit, showing that the pilot did survive but died later on.
