What, we shoot down another friendly with a Patriot?
At least we know they hit stuff now.

Isn't that the first F-15 ever lost to hostile fire?

Solemn prayers for these two brave airmen. May they be safe.

I received an email last night from a friend in town who attends church locally with the MIA pilot and his wife:

" ... (pilot's name) was in an accident last night. There are very little details but it doesn't look as though anyone is signaling on the ground, from his last position. Please pray and notify all your prayer chains and warriors. I'll let you know any details that I can.

Please just pray as the Spirit leads….We've been praying all of Ps 91 and also Joshua 1:8,9

In Him, (signed by the pilot's wife)

I am comforted in the knowledge that both the MIA pilot and his wife understand their strength is in Him. He is a HS grad of a local conservative Christian School.

“Hear my cry, O God. Attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to you, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. For you have been a shelter to me, a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in your tabernacle forever. I will trust in the shelter of your wings.” Ps. 61:1-4

“Truly my soul silently waits for God. From Him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation. He is my defense, I shall not be greatly moved. Trust in Him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before Him. God is a refuge for us.” Ps. 62:1-2,8

A High School friend of mine called today to tell me a fellow classmate had passed away. We talked about the war. He was a pilot over Korea and his son flew F15s in Desert Storm and his son-in-law is flying there now. We didn't know about this when we talked so I didn't ask him what the kid flew. His son is now a flight instructor in NC I beleive. I must call him back tomorrow.

A friend of a friend was the pilot of this missing F-15. Please pray for the safe recovery of the pilot and weapons officer.
