The pilot is wet, but waiting to be rescued, so it qualifies as a good landing, I guess.

YGBSM, another F-16 in the same area, presumably from the same base and on a similar route

Another wet but rescued plot.

 

Is there something in the air there?

...birds?

Oxygen?

Well, oxygen IN the air won't cause planes to crash, although the LACK of it would.

 

However, birds IN the air could.
