Yeah, their lives are (thankfully) saved but their AF careers are likely over.

I hope this waas just a collision because of I would hate to think that the Eagles are just falling apart because of old age.
At the rate congress is appropriating monies for the Air Force 17 will be 20 years before they have adequate fighter support.

Yeah, you never know. However, the fact that both of them went down tells me that one (or both) of them were doing something dumb. If it was one, the other might try to cover and then they will both be tarred—fairly or unfairly. Unless the aircraft (if recovered) can tell its own tale. Hopefully they can at least get the black boxes.
Regardless, I’m glad they’re okay.

Yeah, their lives are (thankfully) saved but their AF careers are likely over. Only that of the one who ran into the other one. If that is what happened. If the airplane broke and took 'em both out, then their careers will be fine. They aren't in the Navy you know.. and even the Navy isn't as much like that as it once was. Until RIFs come of course, then this sort of thing would be held against them, in any of the services.

One of their careers sadly has ended the hard way. One pilot didn’t make it the other is OK.

God Bless both pilots, and their families
Have been reading about problems with the f-15, knew that they stopped flying them in the last 6 months, and then read yesterday that they would fly them again...and today this news. What is going on with the F15's?
