Seen any data on why #6 crashed?

It is officially still under investigation. I believe the delay getting
back in the air was for Captain Chris Striklin to have some time after the
mishap. Imagine yourself in an F-16, about to crash, get blasted out on a
seat and end up horizontal (parachute to seat) looking at the ground from
100-200', and seeing your F-16 go down the runway in a ball of flames.

Have I mentioned I can't wait till Saturday!

Add to that, the fact that ejection takes a tremendous toll on the human
body. Some are never capable of high performance flight again.
