The Air Force has grounded a squadron of F-16 fighter jets in Japan after one of their pilots crashed in the North Pacific this Sunday. The pilot was on his way to Alaska when his jet crashed about 250 miles off the Japanese coast. He safely ejected from the plane and spent six hours in the water before being picked up by a commercial cargo ship transiting the Aleutians. He was transferred to the Coast Guard cutter Monro and then dropped off in Cold Bay on Tuesday. The Air Force is performing safety checks on the 45 F-16s stationed at its base in Misawa Japan.
