USAF F-15C down in North Sea
« on: June 15, 2020, 05:11:53 PM »
A USAF F-15C Eagle from RAF Lakenheath has crashed in the North Sea at approx. 0930 this morning.

Wreckage has been recovered, but the pilot has not been found yet, which does not sound good.

Pilots body has been found, sadly he had passed away before they were able to locate him.
