Saw a blip on local news. Pilot evidently punched out and is OK.

USAF has suspended all F-15 ops as a result.

In the US? And why? This is the only one that's happened lately, besides the Oregon case.

To be accurate they haven't suspended all activities. Just non mission-critical ones
The article explains.

Doubt it, saw an F-15 demo from the West Coast team yesterday at Kennedy Space Centers Air & Space Expo airshow. And it flew the heritage flight with an F-22 and P-51.

Here Here for Severe Clear!

Could be just for the MO ANG. They lost another one not so long ago, but I forget the timeline.

Check the post above your HaveBlue. I was wrong in saying all but they did suspend flight ops.

No it wasn't. Air Force wide.

This kind of thing is SOP. A severe mechanical issue is found and the entire fleet is grounded until the fleet can be checked for this same mistake. Usually doesn't take too long. So HaveBlue, they could have already resolved the problem by theit

A lot of the time the military will ground a fleet of aircraft if there's an unknown cause for a crash. At least until they find out that there's not some chronic thing wrong with the entire fleet.

Our Guard unit has knocked off all flightops of our Eagles until they get to the bottom of this. The only ones allowed to fly are the birds in the desert, and any alert-assigned aircraft.

From what we've been hearing from the pilot who got out of that jet, as well as the investigators, is that "the aircraft just disintegrated"....the crashsite looks almost like the plane was in a flat spin, it's not your traditional crater/smear of parts.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the outcome of a hundred battles.
