Belgian F16-AM crashes in Kleine-Brogel

According local media a BAF F16AM crashed on the military airfield of Kleine-Brogel.
Several reports state that the aircraft suffered an engine stall after a go around or touch and go. The pilot managed to turn away and ejected safely. He was hanging with his parachute in trees and is presently being freed.
No people where injured.
First rumours call the aircraft involved FA99 and the engine stall was eniated by a bird strike.

Update: the aircraft involved was not a QRA and was not armed
