US F-15 Fighter Crashes in Pacific
« on: May 27, 2013, 09:32:35 PM »
 TOKYO (AP) -- A U.S. Air Force F-15 fighter has crashed off the southern Japan island of Okinawa after the aircraft developed problems in flight and the pilot ejected.

U.S. military officials said the crash occurred early Tuesday. They said U.S. and Japanese rescue crews were searching for the pilot, who was believed to have ejected safely and was in contact with the rescuers.

The F-15, flying out of Kadena Air Base, went down in the Pacific about 115 kilometers (70 miles) east of Okinawa, according to U.S. Forces, Japan.

The cause was under investigation. The pilot's name has not been released.

Yep, but don't worry about the cost. Soon there will be more costly single engine jets flying around that won't have any option but to bail when the something goes wrong with that one motor.
