Chorey, VAQ-135, launched for a scheduled electronic support measures (ESM) mission, at 1324, at 07º33’S, 073º19’E. Kitty Hawk was under EMCON A conditions, which prohibited electronic emissions from either the ship or the Prowler. Within two minutes the Prowler passed close abeam of guided missile cruiser Jouett (CG-29), about eight nautical miles ahead of the carrier. The EA-6B suddenly executed a “near vertical climbing turn,” partial cloud cover obscuring further observation of the aircraft, though it is surmised that the crew was practicing a “low level ingress tactic.” Though not verified, it is believed the Prowler impacted the water at approximately 13 miles off the port beam of Kitty Hawk, 63 nautical miles from Diego Garcia, at 1505.

  107. 26 March 2001 : F-15C-42-MC, 86-0180, c/n 1033/C408, of the 493rd FS, 48th FW, USAF, in formation with 86-0169 above, crashed near the summit of Ben Macdui in the Cairngorms. Captain Kirk Jones died in the accident.[41][5]
  108. 30 April 2002 : F-15C-27-MC, 80-0022, c/n 0665/C171, of the 46th Test Wing, based at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, crashed in the Gulf of Mexico approximately 60 miles south of Panama City, Florida, killing test pilot Maj. James A. Duricy, assigned to the 40th Test Squadron, 46th Test Wing. An Accident Investigation Board determined that the crash was caused by the structural failure of the honeycomb material supporting the leading edge of the port vertical stabilizer during a high-speed test dive. A section of the leading edge, approximately 6 x 3 feet, broke away.[44]
  109. 21 August 2002 : F-15C, 78-0541, of the 18th FW, crashed into the Pacific Ocean near Kadena AB, Okinawa. Pilot ejected and survived.[36][45]

  111. 7 April 2003 : F-15E-46-MC, 88-1694, c/n 1103/E078, of the 335th FS, 4th FW, USAF, crashed during a combat bombing mission near Tikrit, Iraq. Both the pilot, Capt. Eric Das of Amarillo, Texas and Weapon Systems Officer (WSO), Major William R. Watkins III of South Boston, VA were killed. From the investigation of the crash site neither man tried to eject, and the aircraft was destroyed in the crash.[47][24]
  112. 4 June 2003 : F-15E-43-MC, 87-0186, c/n 1051/E026, of the 334th FS, 4th FW, USAF, crashed in an unpopulated wooded area near Seymour Johnson AFB. The mishap crew ejected and sustained only minor injuries. The crash was due to a malfunction of the right stabilator which caused the aircraft to go into an unrecoverable spin.[48]
  113. 6 May 2004 : F-15E-46-MC, 88-1701, c/n 1110/E085, of the 335th FS, 4th FW, USAF, out of Seymour Johnson AFB crashed near a rural area outside of Roanoke, VA during a low-level training mission. The two pilots parachuted to safety and reported only minor injuries.[49][50]
  114. 21 May 2004 : F-15C, 81-0027, of the 325th FW, crashed along the shore of St. George Island in the Gulf of Mexico after pilot accidentally pulled the ejection handle. Pilot survived.[36][51]

  117. 17 January 2006 : F-15, 78-0498, of the 44th FS, 18th FW, USAF, crashed into the Pacific Ocean near Kadena AB, Okinawa. Pilot ejected and survived.[52]
  118. 30 May 2007 : F-15D, 78-0571, of the 131st FW, Missouri ANG, crashed 8 miles south of Vincennes, Indiana. Pilot ejected and survived, no second crewmember aboard.[53]
  119. 11 June 2007 : F-15C, 83-0017, of the 71st FS, crashed west of Eielson AFB, Alaska after colliding with F-16C 86-0269 during Red Flag exercise. Pilot ejected and survived. The F-16C was damaged but landed safely.[54]
  120. 26 June 2007 : F-15A, 75-0040of the 123rd FS, 142nd FW, Oregon ANG, crashed into the Pacific Ocean west of Arch Cape, Oregon. Pilot was killed and apparently did not eject.[55]
  121. 2 November 2007 : F-15C-28-MC, 80-0034, c/n 0687/C183, of the 131st Fighter Wing, Missouri Air National Guard) crashed during air combat maneuvering training near St. Louis, Missouri. The pilot, Maj. Stephen W. Stilwell, ejected but suffered serious injuries. The crash was the result of an in-flight breakup due to structural failure. On 3 November 2007, all non-mission critical models of the F-15 were grounded pending the outcome of the crash investigation,[56] and on the following day, grounded non-mission critical F-15s engaged in combat missions in the Middle East.[57] By 13 November 2007 over 1,100 were grounded worldwide after Israel, Japan and Saudi Arabia grounded their aircraft as well.[58] F-15Es were cleared on 15 November 2007 pending aircraft passing inspections.[59] On 8 January 2008, the USAF cleared 60 percent of the F-15A-D fleet for return to flight.[60] On 10 January 2008, the accident review board released its report stating the 2 November crash was related to the longeron not meeting drawing specifications.[61] The Air Force cleared all its grounded F-15A-D fighters for flight on 15 February 2008 pending inspections, reviews and any needed repairs.[62] In March 2008, Stilwell, the injured pilot, filed a lawsuit against Boeing, the F-15's manufacturer.[63]
  122. 1 February 2008 : F-15D, 78-0562, of the 154th Wing, Hawaii ANG, crashed in the Pacific Ocean near Hickam AFB, Hawaii. Pilot ejected and survived.[5][64]
  123. 20 February 2008 : F-15C-26-MC, 79-0075, c/n 0624/C144, of the 58th FS, 33rd FW, USAF, Eglin AFB, Florida, one of two F-15C Eagles that collided over the Gulf of Mexico approximately 50 miles south of Tyndall AFB, Florida, killing 1st Lt. Ali Jivanjee. Capt. Tucker Hamilton ejected from the other fighter and survived. Both pilots ejected and one was rescued from the Gulf by the fishing boat Niña, owned by Bart Niquet of Lynn Haven, Florida, which was guided to the pilot by an HC-144A Ocean Sentry aircraft. A 1st SOW AC-130H and an MV-22 Osprey were also diverted to the scene to help search as were five Coast Guard aircraft and two vessels. An HH-60J Jayhawk from Coast Guard Aviation Training Center, Mobile, Alabama lifted the pilot from the fishing boat and evacuated him to the Eglin Hospital. The second pilot was rescued from the Gulf by an HH-60J Jayhawk from CGAS Clearwater and also taken to the Eglin Hospital. One pilot subsequently died several hours later from his injuries.[65] An accident investigation released 25 August 2008 found that the accident was the result of pilot error and not mechanical failure. Both pilots failed to clear their flight paths and anticipate their impending high-aspect, midair impact, according to Brig. Gen. Joseph Reynes, Jr., Air Combat Command's inspector general who led the investigation.[66][67]
  124. 20 February 2008 : F-15C-32-MC, 81-0043, c/n 0793/C226, of the 58th FS, 33rd FW, USAF, Eglin AFB, Florida, one of two F-15C Eagles that collided over the Gulf of Mexico as above.[67]
  125. 30 July 2008 : F-15D-39-MC, 85-0131, c/n 0957/D057, of the 65th Aggressor Squadron, 57th ATG, at Nellis Air Force Base, departed controlled flight and entered into a spin while executing a planned maneuver during exercise Red Flag 08-3. The aircraft was destroyed after impacting the ground 20 miles northwest of Rachel, Nevada in an uninhabited area on the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) belonging to the Bureau of Land Management. Both aircrew ejected. The back seat observer pilot sustained minor injuries and was rescued; the front seat pilot hit the ground before his parachute fully deployed and died upon ground impact. There were no civilian casualties or additional damage.[68]
  126. 18 July 2009 : F-15E-49-MC, 90-0231, c/n 1160/E133, of the 336th FS, 4th FW, USAF, crashed in central Afghanistan, killing the two crew members.[69][70]
  127. 22 March 2011 : F-15E-51-MC, 91-0304, c/n 1211/E169, of the 492nd FS "Bowlers", 48th FW, USAF, from RAF Lakenheath crashed near Benghazi, Libya in Operation Odyssey Dawn. Both crewmen ejected safely and were recovered by friendly forces. Equipment problems with weapons interface software and the right external fuel tank led to a strong right-wing weight imbalance, which caused the aircraft to enter a flat spin during a low-speed, high altitude, 100 degree bank-angle right turn. The mishap investigation board found the cause of the crash to be lack of published knowledge on F-15E maneuvering with large external store weight imbalances at high altitude.[71]
  128. 24 October 2011 : F-15C-29-MC, 80-0041, c/n 0704/C190, of the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base crashed near Alamo, Nevada. The pilot ejected and was picked up by an Air Force helicopter a half hour later. No injuries were reported. The resulting USAF investigation attributed the crash to six contributing factors, including a problem with the plane's radome and the pilot's subsequent actions.[72]
  129. 28 March 2012 : F-15E-49-MC, 90-0235, c/n 1165/E137, of the 391st EFS, 366th FW, USAF, deployed from Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, crashed due to an accident approximately 15 miles outside a base in Southwest Asia. The pilot, Capt. Francis D. "Piston" Imlay, 31, of Vacaville, California died from his injuries. The WSO suffered minor injuries only.[73][74]
  130. 3 May 2012 : F-15E-50-MC, 90-0254, c/n 1191/E156, of the 391st EFS, 366th FW, USAF, deployed from Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, crashed on a "routine training flight" in Southwest Asia. Both crew members ejected safely and no one on the ground was injured.[75] An investigation found that, for unknown reasons, titanium components in the right engine had ignited, resulting in complete loss of aircraft hydraulics and electrical power, which made the aircraft unflyable.[76]
  131. 27 May 2013 : F-15C-24-MC, 79-0025, c/n 0557/C094, of the 44th FS, 18th FW, USAF, crashed off the southern Japan island of Okinawa after the aircraft developed problems in flight. The pilot ejected and was recovered safely. The F-15, flying out of Kadena Air Base, went down in the Pacific about 70 miles east of Okinawa.[77][78]
  132. 27 August 2014 : F-15C, of the 104th FW, Massachusetts Air National Guard, crashed near Deerfield, VA. The jet went down shortly after 9 AM south east of Deerfield, VA. The jet was en route to Louisiana from Westfield, Massachusetts. Investigation at the scene of the crash show that the pilot never ejected.[79]
  133. 8 October 2014 : F-15D-41-MC, 86-0182,[80] c/n 0994/D062, of the 48th FW, USAF, based at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, crashed in a field close to a school near Weston Hills, Lincolnshire, UK. The pilot safely ejected.[81] No one on the ground was injured.[82][83]
