Air Force officials say they have found no equipment problems. But they have changed some of their pilot training techniques and have increased their supervision because of the rise in mishaps. Officials say several of this year's F-16 accidents involved pilots who lost consciousness as a result of fast aerial maneuvers or became disor iented and lost track of where they were.

U.S. finishes third in medals as Summer Olympics close From Associated Press reports SEOUL, South Korea The -1988 Summer Olympics, kept free of terrorism but tainted by drug scandals, closed Sunday with the pealing of a medieval bell to symbolize the sorrow of parting. The 1,000-year-old, 72-ton Emille Bell, which according to Korean legend has the saddest tone of any in the world, tolled farewell to the more than 9,000 athletes from 160 nations who participated in the 24th Olympiad. The 16-day event, conducted under extraordinary security, wrapped up with the Soviet Union winning the lion's share of the 237 medal events. . The Soviets took home 132 medals, including 55 gold, the most ever in a Summer Olympics without a major-power boycott. East Germany had 102 medals and 37 gold, and the United States had 94 medals and 35 gold. Because of boycotts in 1980 and 1984, the Games were the first meeting between the Soviet Union and the United States since 1976 in Montreal, and matchups between the two nations provided some of the Games highlights. Security measures against the possibility of terrorism were extraordinary, but except for scattered protests by student radicals, the Games proceded without incident. At the closing ceremonies, before the great torch was extin guished, Korea passed the Olym pic flag to , representatives from Barcelona, site of the 1992 Games.
