Interesting, perhaps, but the video I see when clicking this link is of a
water main break video taped by a police car.

I checked the video index. I believe the id you want is 47, not 40.

Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a person to
use the Internet and he won't bother you for weeks.

by the way, all those videos are cool to watch

I don't think this was an F-15, more likely an F-16 (B or D model). I
would think an F-15 would have been able to recover on one engine. It
was obvious on this video that the crew needed to restart that engine
or they were ejecting.

Hey Ernie

I visit your site quite regularly, but I've never written in till now. The
jet in question is a CT-155 Hawk. It is a jet trainer built by British
Aerospace Systems and flown by the Canadian Air Force.(CT-155 is the
Canadian designation. The British designation is BAE 115 Hawk, or something
like that.) The accident happened about 2 years ago in Moose Jaw,
Saskatchewan, where a lot of the pilot training for the Canadian Air Force
is done. I just completed pilot training there myself, although I didn't
fly the Hawk.

Anyway, as you can see, they had a bird strike shortly after take-off. They
were doing about 230 knots, and at 200 feet when they sucked in the bird.
The one and only engine flamed out almost immediately. There was a student
and instructor in the airplane at the time. The instructor immediately took
control and attempted to turn around in order to carry out a forced
landing. However, they didn't have enough altitude and decided to eject.
They were at about 800 feet, 150 knots when the ejected. Both pilots
survived. The student had virtually no injuries. The instructor severely
injured his spine and broke his leg. The student returned to flying almost
immediately. I am unsure if the instructor is back flying, but as of about
7 or 8 months ago, he was not.

Here is a link to a site with several pictures of the Hawk, as well as more
info. I'd be happy to answer anymore questions you may have.

Cheers,
Mike G.
Pilot, Canadian Air Force
