Re: Second USAF F-15 Pilot Found

"Second body found near U.S. F-15 wreckage
By Chris Fontaine ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON - Searchers recovered a second body today near the wreckage of two U.S. Air Force F-15s that crashed on a Scottish mountain peak, police said.

The body was found close to the summit of Ben Macdhui in the Cairngorm Mountains, where the two jets crashed Monday. The body of one pilot of the single-seat jets - Lt. Col. Kenneth John Hyvonen, 40, from Michigan - was found Tuesday. The second pilot was identified as Capt. Kirk Jones.

The two aircraft vanished 45 minutes after taking off at midday Monday from Lakenheath air base, 75 miles northeast of London.

High winds, heavy snow and the threat of avalanches hampered the recovery operation throughout the week. At 4,300 feet, Ben Macdhui is the tallest summit in the Cairngorms.

Air accident investigators were still working at the crash sites, where a cordon had been set up to preserve evidence, police said."
