Another F-15 Eagle crashes:

HICKAM AIR FORCE BASE, Hawaii (AFPN) -- A Hawaii Air National Guard pilot safely ejected from his F-15D model aircraft over the Pacific Ocean at approximately 1:37 p.m. about 60 miles south of the Honolulu International Airport.

The pilot was picked up by the U. S. Coast Guard at 2:15 p.m.

The pilot was conducting routine training. The F-15 belongs to the 199th Fighter Squadron, 154th Wing of the Hawaii Air National Guard. The accident will be under investigation.

It's just been raining Eagles lately.

Could have been pilot error, but with most of the F-15 force grounded after the 131FW's incident, it sounds like another age related maintenance accident.
