On February 25, 2021 this jet would suffer a gear collapse during an emergency landing at Tyndall Air Force Base. During the accident the rear seater would eject as the jet veered off the runway however the front ejection seat did not fire. Both crew members were severely injured but thankfully survived. It is unknown if this jet will ever fly again, anything is possible but the damage sounded substantial.
