PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - Investigators were searching in the Gulf of Mexico Thursday for debris from two F-15C Eagles that could help determine the cause of a mid-air crash that killed a pilot during a training exercise.
Training flights from Eglin Air Force Base, where the two flights originated, have been temporarily stopped while the base mourns.
"Any time we conduct flight operations, we do it as a team. We are all feeling the effects of this as a team, as one," said Sgt. Bryan Franks, spokesman for Eglin's 33rd Fighter Wing, which includes 54 F-15s, more than 80 pilots and hundreds of airmen.
