  July 12, 2007 (by Joris Janssen Lok) - Did the pilot of a RNlAF F-16 that went down over Afghanistan last year encounter a creepy crawly creature in his cockpit?

 A sting by a camel spider, a scorpion or even a cobra appears to be the only remotely possible explanation why the jet suddenly departed from its cruising altitude and crashed into terrain August 31, 2006.

Full story can be found here

For anyone unaware, this is a camel spider

My wings are like a shield of steel.
