This man above was found off the coast of Italy, 3 days after the F-16 he was flying went missing. The controllers lost contact with the F-16 around 8 p.m. on Monday. The jet was on a training flight, the U.S. Air Force reported. Italian search teams seem to have found debris from the jet on Tuesday.

  • Its sad to hear this. Flying is a scary thing to do, just being a passenger scares me. But being the pilot would be extremely scary. 

  • This is so sad. It sucks that stuff like this has to happen.. at least they found his body so it can be put to rest, and hopefully give his family a little closure..

  • Aww this is sad. This man was just trying to do a flight test and dies...I feel for his family.

  • ahh, thats very scary! this is very sad. i hope his family is okay. he will be in our prayers.

  • That's really sad. Especially for the family, him being gone 3 days already and all. That would just be rough on anyone. This is just an awful situation. I hope the best for his family though! :(

  • This is very sad to hear about what had happened to him and his family.

  • You hear stories like this all the time about how people die doing something they enjoy. At least he left doing something he loved. It doesn't make the sitution any better; it's defenitley a sad event for this pilot and his family.

  • This is sad that he didn't make it. I have a relative that died from a plane crash, and several of my relatives are involved with flying planes etc. I feel bad for his family.
