It happened this afternoon, in the nothern Israeli airforce base of "ramat David".

On touch down the front landing gear of the F16 collapsed, and the plane fell on its nose.
0/10 of a second , before the plane lost control and flipped on its back, the two pilots managed to eject. (the plane was at roll angle of 45 degrees when they ejected).
Navigator suffer only of minor injuries. and they are already schedueled for another flight tomorow morning.
Combination of luck, good reflexes, and maybe help from above.
