Damn Internet, I wrote it already twice;

Anyway, the 24 year old Lt got out after suffering a bird strike and subsequent engine stall. He R/T'd the tower and got out after pulling up with the remaining energy.
Plane crashed 3km of the airfield in the woods. Pilot was found after a while hanging high up in the trees. He was stationed at KB but as he did not finish his tng yet (+/- 136hrs type, 500 total according BAF) on the F16 I presume he was still assigned to the OCU.
Besides shoulder pains, he is ok!
