      Good to hear.

      Seems likely to be maneuver error. It won't be good for the F-15 fleet if it has a another structural failure issue.

          That's very unfortunate.

          I'm sure it must be harder for the friends and families when the first indication is that the pilot has been safely recovered and then learn that he didn't make it in the end.

              First thing you are taught is .... DON"T VIOLATE THE THOUSAND FOOT BUBBLE. Obviously somebody lost sight and they should have called "knock it off"

                If you pop the bubble, things can definitely go sideways in a hurry.
