#1 The C model was the one that generated the F-15 grounding after one w/ ~5000 huors broke up in flight. Inspections showed defects in wing fittings, and they were kept down until repairs were made, or increased inspection protocols were implemented. This sounds like your basic mid-air; the odds of synchronized break-ups is too remote to even contemplate. Prayers to those that suffer most.

#2 This has really flown under the radar of our news makers....our warriors train as they fight...... Godspeed

I did actually read this in the MSM last night, but they were reporting both survivied at the time.

My gratitude and condolences to those left behind.
