Actually, it makes me want to fly Lock On.
Remember, we lost two Eagles last week ... only one pilot survived. Even those "mock" dogfights are deadly dangerous.

was it last year they lost one over Missouri and grounded the whole fleet of 15Cs while they checked out their structural integrity. Only recently returned to flight. Then last week, we lost two more in Florida. No word on the cause.

training is always dangerous. You're flying an a/c at 400 plus and pulling high G's...the sky gets aweful small, damn fast.
