There was just a pilot onboard and he has yet to be found.

The PLB goes off on ejection automatically so it depends how long since it went in. American aircrew seem to struggle with getting out when they're in bother mind.

An F-15 has never been lost in combat. Not bad for a plane that is nearly 50 years old.

I was working when the last one went in - F18 from Lakenheath crashed on departure. The rest of the formation had no idea he was missing until they got onto the tanker and we had to tell them.

They still throw spears at the sun in Boro - wonder if one connected with the jet?

Keep in mind that what you see on the news is usually 2-3 hours behind events when it comes to this kind of thing.

So you suspect they've not ejected then? Awful
