Hey Cecil,
Just saw CNN at the barber shop. They were reporting on one of the F-15 crashes. I think from last Nov. The aircraft broke into two parts after some high G's turns. The Air Force said the airframe spilt between the engines and the cockpit. The pilot only had a broken arm in the mishap. One lucky guy if you ask me. I see in the report they have now grounded 150 others so they can check for cracks.
Do you fly guys think about that sort of thing when you climb aboard?
Now that I think back to me service days. Maybe it was better being a ground pounder.
