F-15 Crashes in Libya; Crew Picked Up
March 22, 2011
Associated Press
A U.S. Air Force F-15 Strike Eagle jet has crashed in Libya, the U.S. military said Tuesday. Both crew members ejected -- one was safely recovered by search and rescue assets immediately and the other was picked up later after spending some time with rebel forces.
"We do not believe it was shot down," Crawley said Tuesday.
It was not immediately known where or when the plane went down. The crew members were separated because they ejected at high altitudes and ended up in different areas, Crawley said, adding that both had minor injuries.
He declined to say who was aiding in the recovery of the crew member, noting that before each mission the military already has recovery plans in place.
Military experts have noted that in such operational situations that it is common for the Marine Corps to use "tactical recovery of aircraft and personnel" teams from amphibious ships such as the USS Kearsarge, currently located in the Gulf of Sidra.
A TRAP team uses a combination of USMC rotary and fixed-wing assets to pick up downed crewmen and was most famously employed to pick up Capt. Scott O'Grady after his F-16 was shot down by an SA-6 over Bosnia in 1995.
The Air Force has said only that B-2, F-15 and F-16 fighters are participating in operations over Libya. The U.S.'s involvement in Libya is being run by Africa Command, which is based in Stuttgart, Germany.
F-15s are operating out of NATO's air base in Aviano, Italy, about 800 miles from Libya. The Strike Eagle variant of the aircraft has been in service since 1986.
