The Aces II ejection seat has saved many a pilot's life. Glad he is okay.

I am glad the pilot is OK.There have been so many planes go down out twords Wendover that I cant even count.Seems we lose one about every 3 years or so.I guess that is to be expected because they do alot of the more dangerous manuvers out that way.But practice practice practice is what makes our pilots second to none as seen in many places around the world in times of need.

This had a good ending. The Pilot's okay, the military can learn from a mistake without someone's life for the cost, and no one else was hurt because of the crash.

Where's all the "Stop spending our Taxes"! Tea Partiers?

This was most likely due to flying an airplane that was only designed to last 10 years, for 25 years.

I can't imagine racing a 1979 Buick everyday and expecting mechinacal problems.

The pilots are the best.
The ground crews and the maintenance personell are the best --
Who else can make garbage fly this long with so few accidents?

There were military excercises going on at camp Willisms Friday afternoon. As I pulled into my driveway everyone can hear their bombs and cannons exploding along the south hills of Salt lake Valley.
I looked up in the sky and saw a high flying military jet leaving a long wide chemtrail over this target area.
The trail of the jet before and after the chemtrail dissipated, but this large chemtrail dump stayed hovering over the target range of south hills and drifted slowly towards the east.
