As I posted two days ago, the F-16 Thunderbird accident was caused by a throttle problem. He had fuel in the tanks, which was removed before they loaded the airframe on a truck. This was the fourth F-16 loss due to throttle problems. The first, was in May 2008 at the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada, where the throttle stuck in afterburner (full power) position. The airplane eventually ran out of fuel and the pilot ejected.

NELLIS AFB, NV -- Engine failure (flame out) resulting from the failure of a throttle cable caused the crash of an F-16C/D short of the runway at Colorado Springs (Peterson AFB) on June 2, 2016. The pilot ejected from the aircraft and received minor injuries. No fatalities and no damage to personal property were reported. According to the Air Combat Command accident investigation board, the pilot retarded the throttle during the landing approach and descent prior to extending the landing gear. As the aircraft slowed he attempted to move the throttle forward but it was stuck in the idle position. At the same time the pilot observed the engine instruments indicated the engine had shut down.
Investigators determined that a fracture within the throttle cable assembly led to the failure of the component, preventing throttle input and loss of the aircraft. The EPU H-70 system auto activated. The pilot directed the aircraft toward an open area before ejecting.
