Anyone with access to the CSAF Daily Ops brief on SIPRNET should look at the slide for this incident...it is in today's (31 July) brief...

For everyone else, the details will probably go public in a few days. The Nellis web site is probably the best place for info.

Red Flag 08-3 is continuing...

Godspeed! :salut:

Guys

Please don't post any information on either pilot until it is publically released! Especially info that could be used to identify either.

Cheers! M2

LAS VEGAS — A pilot was killed and another was injured Wednesday when an F-15 fighter jet crashed during training exercises in the Nevada desert.

Lt. Col. Thomas Bouley, commander of the 65th Aggressor Squadron, was declared dead shortly after the crash. A British Royal Air Force exchange pilot, whose name was withheld, was in stable condition at the base hospital, according to a base statement.

The two-seater F-15D Eagle went down at about 11:30 a.m. in the vast Nevada Test and Training Range north of Las Vegas, according to a statement released by officials at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.

The 65th Aggressor Squadron simulates enemy forces in air combat Red Flag training exercises regularly held by the base, officials said.

The F-15D Eagle is primarily used for air-to-air missions and costs $29.9 million, according to Air Force figures.
