True, but that should have been checked before launch during preflight. Though we do not know if other fighters in the unit had issues either. This is one of those wait and see times for me. We will know soon enough.

OR, um ... no fuel.
The gauge mighta been faulty on remaining fuel on board.
Losing BOTH engines at FL 20 coulda been a formation-induced flameout with no re-light. Or he/they might have shifted to flying lower and been taken out by a bird strike.
Speculating, I know. But geesh ... an F-15 can take a good bit of battle damage and keep flying. Weird.
