I'll bet the F-22 won't do that. Time to buy more.

That is nuts. Glad he got out ok.

 

[LearLove]

anyone know how he is doing? A family from the unit said he broke his leg and hurt his back real bad.

He is one of our pilots out of MDW. Rumor is he is doing good but has some good medical stuff to go through.

Same place I found that animation mentions that as a result of the fleetwide inspections, 159 F-15s have been found to be structurally deficient and will never fly again.

For the folks pushing for more Raptors, they just got a fresh box of ammo.

Thank goodness he made it. Hats off to you fighter drivers.
