The FJ-4B Fury. (Photo D. Miller (CC BY 2.0))

A USAF F-16 Falcon ran off the runway at Oshkosh yesterday, resulting in the nosewheel collapsing. The pilot was unhurt. Some time later, the FJ-4B Fury owned and flown by Dr Richard Sugden also overran the runway and came to a halt near the F-16 with no further damage. It seems that Sugden had reported on the radio that he had lost his brakes and would be overshooting. The cause to the F-16 accident is unknown.

A YouTube video by MrSerious0 shows the Fury reaching the end of the runway:

A video of the F-16 incident can be seen on YouTube, as well as some photographs here. A single picture of the Fury incident is available on sim-outhouse for the moment. More will be posted as it becomes available.
