F-15 Crash - help required

[MBenShar]

Dear Group Members,

Does anyone have any details of a two seat F-15 crash - I believe mid 1970s
when the pilot a Col. Jacobs and his rear seater - a flight surgeon both had to
eject at supersonic speed. Both ejected but did not survive?

Any help really appreciated

wasn't this described in detail on this ng recently?

Dear Markovic, (sorry I do not have your name),

If I had seen the article on a recent news group I would not be asking.
I do try to keep an eye on the forum but do occasionally miss postings.

Mike,

He's confusing the F-15E ejection in which the WSO perished which is
discussed somewhere below this thread. I cannot recall seeing this F-15B
loss discussed in another thread of late.

Have you checked the Crowood-published Thornborough/March 2001 book on the
Eagle? It has a comprehensive list of losses and descriptions at the back,
but I don't have it here to hand. Sorry.

Dear Steve,

Thanks for clearing that up.

Only this weekend I picked up a copy of the Crowood Book - and yes I agree it
does have a good listing of "fates of aircraft"

Regards

Mike
