The first time?
I read that f15s have never been killed in combat before |

I recall a few F-15Es were also shot down by surface fire during the Gulf War.

I've read that myself somewhere but never looked further into it....and this bugga surely has come down but probably due to mechanical failure.
I'm just pleased both aircrew are okay and haven't been killed. |

Looking at the pics, there doesn't appear to be much sensitive equipment left at all!

Prolly right but scavengers have been known to come across the odd golden nugget before.

I was mechanical failure from what I heard.

This kind of situation is virtually guaranteed with this (misguided, IMHO) effort. We all know what happens when you get captured by hostile muslims... decapitation, etc. As a result any rescue forces are going to go balls-out to rescue pilots. This unfortunate result is inevitable, particularly given the irregular nature of the forces on both sides.
