kukulino 1 Posted May 31, 2007 http://www.wthr.com/Global/story.asp?S=6586348 Ther'es some great aerial videos....but still sad to loose a good plane. Oh no, no, no... Another plane down (I mean that F-15) It is like neverending story. Disaster, crash, collision,... Well, flying is very nice, but sometimes sorrowful profession (or job, or hobby)...

Guest 531_Ghost Posted June 6, 2007 Didn't want to go here but, maybe this will refresh your memory: Paraphrased quote, America crashes F15s, give them to Brazil, we'll take care of them... Ring a bell? No, the topic wasn't edited your post was. Now let's just let it go mmmmkay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 531_Ghost Posted June 7, 2007 Thank you for letting it end. Being in the business, crashes aren't something to be joked about. They're a very serious matter. I've been involved with several crash investigations and there hasn't been anything funny about any of them. :beer: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyCap 0 Posted June 15, 2007 Never heard the F-15 refered to as a "single passenger plane" before. Gotta love those journalists... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Jarhead1 27 Posted June 15, 2007 Thank GOD like everyone said but i am just reiterating, that the pilot got out safely and its a shame to loose such an awesome airplane but mistakes happen, things fail, the older the airplane gets, the worse flights take their toll, and it is still a shame but thank God again that the pilot survived unlike so many others before like USMC HAWKER stated above Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Dave 2,319 Posted June 28, 2007 Another F-15 down, this one from the Oregon ANG. Pilot didn't make it. :( http://www.katu.com/news/8198112.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparkomatic 7 Posted June 18, 2008 Aging fleet, Moseley cut huge numbers of maintainers, spare parts no longer produced...and the beauty was only designed to last 10 years by the way...dont forget it was designed and built back when we still had more than one type of Fighter on active service (we even had dedicated interceptors back then)...no one with a slide rule forecast the dreadful state the USAF would now today find itself in I think. Was very glad that Gates said "halt the personnel cuts" now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyStrike 15 Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) GOOD HEAVENS!!!!!!!!! NOT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

PaperArtillery 0 Posted June 19, 2008 Post date aside, I think it's still worth noting that no matter how tight your maintanence is, no matter how many precautions are taken, luck and fate - if you will - always play a bigger part in flying than can be offset. So long as mankind continues to pry the skies, accidents will inevitably happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah... but this shouldn't be used as an excuse for all these mishaps which even happen today due to whatever reason... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Dave 2,319 Posted June 20, 2008 Yeah... but this shouldn't be used as an excuse for all these mishaps which even happen today due to whatever reason... Then you know nothing about the danger of military flying. That is an ignorant statement considering the company you are in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
