I came across this video of the USAF Viper Demo at RIAT which had to be cut short. The right hand stabilizer was delaminating as you will see in the video.

Thankfully all ended well.

First display of the day too. Conflicting reports. Some in the camp site saying they saw a bird strike the tail wing, pilot seemed to think the Arestor cable caused it (not sure how it would hit the wing? But I am sure the pilot knows the F16 a heck of a lot better than me)
Pilot did a great job getting aircraft down. With only the pilot in the aircraft checklists had to be done via radio to another USAF member in the tower going by what commentary was saying.
PdF also had a 7700 on Saturday. Not sure what happened there. Engine issues was what was being said around the grandstand.
