F-15 ooops
How about the guy who took these picture's... Pretty cool...
This 'incident' caused the USAF to ground its fleet of F-15's.
There I was just flying along, enjoying the flight...
And what's so cool is they actually pay me to do this!
Hmmm. Strange sound. Something feels different.
Hey, why am I looking up?
Whoa here. What the hell? Controls aren't working.
Time for a mirror check. Hey, where's the rest of my F-15?
Uh oh, it's over there. I think I've got a definite 'Aw, sh*t' going here.
I gotta wonder, am I the first guy to ever experience 'cockpit-airframe separation anxiety?'
OK, enough is enough. I'm outta' here. But first the canopy has to go...
Hey GREAT! That worked as advertised. Things are looking up!
OK, now it's my turn. I'm gone - soon as I find that frickin' lower handle.
Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Looks like it's going to be just another 'average day at the office.'
What caused the mid air break up?
The main "longeron" (stringer) behind the cockpit failed due to corrosion.
