Are F-16's Like Weebles?

Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down.

The guy making this video is oblivious to what he's got on tape. Apparently he's totally enamored by the B-1 takeoffs. This video is probably made during a Cope Thunder/Red Flag North launch at Eielson AFB, Alaska. Watch closely.

Here's what a tipped over F-16 looks like up close. The amazing thing about this photo is that it's a different incident from the above video; note the snow and skid marks, both absent from the B-1 incident. Apparently this is a common thing for the Fighting Falcon, at least at Eielson AFB, Alaska. I'm sure a little afterburner and some left rudder would get that thing upright quite quickly.

I think that would be worth 5 points in the pig game. Correct me if I'm worng, but it looks like a right leaning jowler. Or is it a right leaning pork falcon---I'm really not sure?
