Taiwan Recovers F-16V Black Box After Two Months at Sea, Pilot Still Missing

Taipei recovered the flight data recorder from an F-16V that crashed into the sea on January 6 after over two months of searching; the device was found at about 2,500 metres and will be sent to the U.S. manufacturer for analysis. Wreckage was retrieved but the pilot remains missing, and investigators hope the recorder will reveal whether technical failure or human factors caused the accident.
