Well that article said that both pilots were rescued. The one up on yahoo said only one was. I hope yahoo didn't know what they were talking about...

Shit hit the fan here when it happened. We were told it happend on a dog leg final to NAS Pensacola. We had to call all of our aircraft. Apparently it was not even close to us. Everything I've heard said both guys were rescued but condition is unknown.

The F-15 community has had a rough time in the last year...


Good to hear everyone got picked up.

This is from one of the news articles: "The planes can fly as high as 65,000 feet, and each costs about $30 million, according to the Air Force."

Been rough times for the F-15C community. RIP to the downed pilot. Hopefully this is the last bad news they have for a while.

wow.

They took a stripped down F-15A higher than that during the 1970's...I think the program was called "Streak Eagle" or something to that effect.
