Re: F-15C Wreckage Located

Date: March 28, 2001

"03/27/01 - ROYAL AIR FORCE LAKENHEATH, England (AFPN) -- Search and rescue teams looking for two U.S. Air Force F-15C Eagle aircraft, missing since March 26, have located the body of one pilot and the wreckage of one aircraft near Ben Macdui in the Cairngorm Mountains, Scotland.

The identity of the pilot has not been determined.

Lt. Col. Kenneth Hyvonen, from the 48th Operations Support Squadron, and Capt. Kirk Jones, from the 493rd Fighter Squadron here were each piloting an F-15C, when both disappeared off radar March 26 over Northern Scotland.

The search continues for the second pilot and aircraft. Officials at RAF Kinloss said that poor weather in the area is restricting the search.

The F-15C aircraft is a single-seat, all-weather, tactical fighter designed to gain and maintain air superiority in aerial combat.

A board of U.S. Air Force officers will investigate the cause of the accident."
