A manufacturing defect blamed for the mid-air breakup of an F-15 Eagle fighter may cause the Air Force to ground a quarter of its fleet of those warplanes permanently, a top general said Thursday.
The single-seat F-15C broke up in a 500-mph turn during a combat training mission over Missouri, with its fuselage breaking in half behind the cockpit, an Air Force probe of the crash determined.

And to think...I planned on flying one of those. Still, this won't discourage me from the air. I will be keeping a close eye on the Wright Patterson USAF base (boyfriend interns there so it won't be hard to get an insider's view) to see if they pull any of their crafts.
It's funny...I watched one fly over my head several times at Tattoo: The Call 2008 on the base on June 27th! lol
