A pilot from Nellis Air Force Base has died following the crash of a U.S. Air Force F-15D Eagle two-seater jet, Nellis Air Force Base officials said. Another pilot from the aircraft was transported to Mike O'Callaghan Federal Hospital at about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday. The second pilot is under observation and in stable condition, officials said.
The crash occurred on the Nevada Test and Training Range about 50 miles east of Goldfield, Nev., said Charles Ramey of Nellis Air Force Base. The crash occurred about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday as the jet was taking part in an Exercise Red Flag combat training mission. Both pilots were assigned to the 65th Aggressor Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base, whose mission is to simulate opposing enemy air forces during Red Flag exercises.
A board of military officials is being convened to investigate the crash. The board will include a senior pilot, a maintenance expert, a flight surgeon, a judge advocate and any other needed specialist. The board president will release a report on the board's findings following their investigation.
