Accident & incident history

1998-06-26 Accident · Oceana, VA Damage: Substantial NTSB · IAD98LA073
Reported aircraft: Saab-Scania AB (Saab) F-35 Draken — a different aircraft that carried the N156XD registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot-in-command's inadequate fuel management which led to fuel exhaustion and subsequent loss of engine power. A related factor was the pilot's unfamiliarity with the fuel system.
