F-15 A-D models ordered to stand down for additional inspections
11/28/2007 - LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va (AFPN) --
For the second time this month, the commander of Air Combat Command has directed a
fleet-wide inspection of all ACC F-15 A through D model aircraft.
The directive follows Nov. 27 findings stemming from the investigation of an
F-15C mishap that resulted in the loss of that aircraft on Nov. 2 . Based on those new findings,
all F-15 A through D models will undergo a stand down that will require additional inspections and possible repair actions.
Gen. John D.W. Corley, ACC commander, also recommended the stand-down of
all other similar model aircraft in other Air Force major commands, including those under the operational control of U.S. combatant commanders.
