Sorry Gang, the first message did not take.
I was helping figure out a broken URL from another site, when it worked, it was very cool. And my search led to another site that was even more impressive for us aviation types... read the messages below for the long/short story.
To keep a Kolb connection, i had to do some work on my Kuntzleman Strobe recently (i broke a bulb), and in the troubleshooting process the folks at KE inc were very very helpful! Even sent an extra unit out to help determine my problem. Very personal, and now my driver unit is on its way back home, hope to install this weekend. I give them 2 thumbs up for customer service! And the repair price was practially nothing, when they could have easily told me i needed a new driver box ($150), but no, just fixed mine. Even got a call from the owner just to let me know it was OK and on its way. Great company!

Barry and all,
The original link did work. I saw the video, and it was very impressive. And did read at another website and learned it was not an F-16B but actually a CT-155 Hawk. But that was a student flying with an instructor (what a training ride!). Where i learned this is at another cool aviation website...

As for the original link, the reason it did not work, there are 3 spaces in the URL that caused it to fail. Copy and paste to your web browser, backspace out the 3 blank spaces, and it works fine. They are located between "alwayson" and the "-", "network." and the "com", "comments." and the "php"
remove the 3 blank spaces in the url once pasted to the browser, and you will get there. Or go to the other link, the same video is there also.
Great job finding that one Barry, it was impressive!! !

READ THIS -- CAREFULLY -- FIRST; THEN WATCH THE VIDEO
Then watch it again. This is split second decision making!
F-16 engine ingests bird after takeoff (at) Tyndall AFB.
It is certainly interesting to see a crash from the cockpit of an
airplane.
There is an instructor pilot in the rear and a student in the front
seat of an F-16.
A "Bird Strike," as seen through the Heads Up Display (HUD).
One can see the bird "flash-by" just prior to impacting the engine.
One can hear the aircraft voice warning system telling them they
have a problem and referring to the "D-6 NL" which means there is no
engine RPM.
They made 2 attempts to relight the jet engine, but evidently there
was too much damage from the bird strike and they had to get out.
These guys were very cool; note the heavy breathing ... they
certainly flew longer than one would expect before ejecting.
Airspeed can
be observed on the HUD's upper left corner. It goes down to the low
120's as they struggle to get the engine going again, but as the
plane noses over and dives to earth it increases to at least 175
just before impact.
It just goes to show how quickly your day can go to pieces - 45
seconds from strike to ejection.
All and all, not bad. The pilots ran the emergency checklist, made
two relight attempts, and picked out a plowed field for impact
before ejecting.
You can follow the audio attached to it and hear the conversation
between the pilot and instructor pilot, and then the tower,
including the pilot saying they were punching out. The tower didn't
seem to completely understand the situation, and missed the
significance of the last transmission. The towers last radio call --
he's talking to an empty aircraft.
The video continues until impact, even after both pilots eject. A
classic "buying the farm" as you can see the plow rows get bigger. A
real nice job from the aircrew by keeping their cool and turning
the aircraft away from populated areas.

Look at these when you have time -- The F-16 is really a CT-155 Hawk. Or so they tell me. Impressive anyway, Student & instructor aboard, you can see the bird flash past. Some training flight!
Got a new secretary -- Marcia DePenguins. Replacing Sacha Payne Diaz.
Sheesh!
