GMT +9 in Kadena. It's early Monday morning. 

 

Edit: Disregard. Low SA. Assumed it happened today as it wasn't reported until now.

Glad the pilot is okay

At least the seat worked.

Glad he got out. This has been a rough year so far.

Behind on FHP and green dot, more time required for UCI prep - there will be no weekends for the next month to support the wings priorities. Oh and remember guys, we care about families! Also, you're deploying for 6 months in 34 days, sorry not sorry we didnt factor that in...

“We have been notified that the pilot is in serious condition.”

“Kadena has temporarily paused F-15 training while the 18th Wing reviews “operational, maintenance and safety procedures with unit personnel.””

 

Hopefully all ya'll saw this, but if not, the update is good.  Their follow on post said they're back to flying again.  Crazy year again.
