Default Missing F-16

Hope the pilot is found safe. USAF F-16 based in Italy is missing after a training mission, they think it went down in the Adriatic.

I hope so too. Prayers to the pilot and hope there's a good outcome. Flew in and out of Aviano several times over the past couple of years and got to witness some F-16s in action. Awe-inspiring.
