Salute!
Sometimes the barber shop rumor network is more accurate then this "professional .... rumor network"
So getting first haircut in almost three months due to "recommended" personal isolation and actual legal shutdown of the barber shop, good intell. The shop is less than a mile from the east gate of Eglin, and filled with autographed pics and such from generations of folks that worked and flown at the base.
The plane hit close to the main runway, and it looks like weather may have been a factor. A local contributor on F-16.net says a strong CB was in the vicinity, although I am 2 miles away and our bad WX didn't arrive for another few hours. One barber shop source claimed the plane actually bounced off of the runway before the pilot "jettisoned" the sucker.
Good news is that seat seems to work well.
