I hope they’re not hot doggers. We had one of those types showing off as he took off from my airport and only about a mile and a half from my house, his plane dive bombed right into a house and killed him and the folks inside (I should say a major-sized fireball, they were all incinerated), and it just barely missed the interstate (where it would’ve killed even more people). If the jerk had banked to the left, it might’ve been me and my house that would’ve ended up a charcoal briquette.

I work on Eglin, and by definition, a fighter pilot is a hot dogger. These aren’t airline pilots. Having said that, these F15s are very old, I doubt the incident you described is pilot error, more likely mechanical failure.
Thou I have heard of some amazing accidents caused by recklessness. Regardless, I’m thrilled they are safe!
