*12 September 1981. During an airshow at [[Soesterberg AB]] Netherlands USAFE F-15C 80-0007/BT 22nd TFS/ 36th TFW crashed while attempting to land. Aircraft had just been delivered to the 36th TFW and had only 9.5 hours on the clock. Pilot did not eject but was safe.<ref>http://www.f15sim.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/80-0007-accident-report.pdf</ref>

* [[1983 Negev mid-air collision]] - On 1 May 1983, during an [[Israeli Air Force]] training dogfight, an F-15D [[1983 Israeli Air Force F-15 crash|collided]] with an [[A-4 Skyhawk]]. Unknown to pilot Zivi Nedivi and his copilot, the right wing of the Eagle was sheared off roughly two feet (60&nbsp;cm) from the fuselage. The F-15 entered a controllable spin after the collision. Zivi decided to attempt recovery and engaged afterburner to increase speed, allowing him to regain control of the aircraft. The pilot was able to prevent [[stall (flight)|stalling]] and maintain control because of the lift generated by the large horizontal surface area of the fuselage, the [[stabilator]]s and remaining wing areas. The F-15 landed at twice the normal speed to maintain the necessary lift, and its [[tailhook]] was torn off completely during the landing during a failed attempt at using the emergency [[arresting gear]] installed on the runway to bring the aircraft to a halt. Zivi managed to bring his F-15 to a complete stop approximately 20&nbsp;ft (6&nbsp;m) from the end of the runway. He was later quoted as saying "(I) probably would have ejected if I knew what had happened."<ref>[http://www.uss-bennington.org/phz-nowing-f15.html No Wing F15 - crew stories - USS Bennington] Retrieved 31 July 2006.</ref><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LveSc8Lp0ZE F-15 flying with one wing by an Israeli pilot]</ref>

*On 22 November 1995, during air-intercept training over the Sea of Japan, a Japanese F-15J flown by Lt. Tatsumi Higuchi was shot down by a AIM-9L Sidewinder missile accidentally fired by his wingman. The pilot ejected safely. Both F-15Js involved were from [[JASDF]] 303rd Squadron, Komatsu AFB.<ref>[http://www.ejection-history.org.uk/Aircraft_by_Type/f-15.htm#jasdf F-15 Eagle Losses and Ejections] Retrieved: 2 March 2008.</ref>

*On 30 April 2002, an [[F-15 Eagle|F-15C Eagle]] 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.

*On 4 June 2003, F-15E 87-0186 of the 334th FS 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.<ref>http://usaf.aib.law.af.mil/F-15E_Seymour-Johnson_4Jun03.pdf</ref>

*On 7 June 2006, an F-15K crashed off the coast of [[Pohang]], [[North Gyeongsang]] Province, South Korea, during a nighttime intercept training mission, killing both crew members. The [[Republic of Korea Air Force]] commissioned a full investigation. The ROKAF later issued a public statement saying that the accident was apparently caused by both crew members entering a state of [[g-LOC]] that lasted 16 seconds and resulted in loss of control of the aircraft. Subsequent public outcry ensued with accusations of a cover-up because the blackbox was never recovered, and F-15Ks are equipped with automatic GLC (G Limited Control anti g-LOC device) systems.

*On 2 November 2007, a 27-year-old F-15C (s/n 80-0034 of the [[131st Fighter Wing]]) crashed during air combat maneuvering training near [[St. Louis, Missouri]]. The pilot, Maj. Stephen W.

USAF F-15C over Florida
F-15E Strike Eagle flies over Afghanistan in support of Operation Mountain Lion in 2006.

This is a list of losses involving the F-15 including the F-15 Eagle, F-15 Strike Eagle, and other F-15 variants. Of all aircraft lost, none have been lost in air-to-air combat.

Accidents and losses

  • 12 September 1981. During an airshow at Soesterberg AB Netherlands USAFE F-15C 80-0007/BT 22nd TFS/ 36th TFW crashed while attempting to land. Aircraft had just been delivered to the 36th TFW and had only 9.5 hours on the clock. Pilot did not eject but was safe.[1]
  • 1983 Negev mid-air collision - On 1 May 1983, during an Israeli Air Force training dogfight, an F-15D collided with an A-4 Skyhawk. Unknown to pilot Zivi Nedivi and his copilot, the right wing of the Eagle was sheared off roughly two feet (60 cm) from the fuselage. The F-15 entered a controllable spin after the collision. Zivi decided to attempt recovery and engaged afterburner to increase speed, allowing him to regain control of the aircraft. The pilot was able to prevent stalling and maintain control because of the lift generated by the large horizontal surface area of the fuselage, the stabilators and remaining wing areas. The F-15 landed at twice the normal speed to maintain the necessary lift, and its tailhook was torn off completely during the landing during a failed attempt at using the emergency arresting gear installed on the runway to bring the aircraft to a halt. Zivi managed to bring his F-15 to a complete stop approximately 20 ft (6 m) from the end of the runway. He was later quoted as saying "(I) probably would have ejected if I knew what had happened."[2][3]
  • On 22 November 1995, during air-intercept training over the Sea of Japan, a Japanese F-15J flown by Lt. Tatsumi Higuchi was shot down by a AIM-9L Sidewinder missile accidentally fired by his wingman. The pilot ejected safely. Both F-15Js involved were from JASDF 303rd Squadron, Komatsu AFB.[4]
  • On 26 March 2001,[5] during a low flying training exercise over the Scottish Highlands, two US Air Force F-15Cs crashed near the summit of Ben Macdui in the Cairngorms.[6] Both, Lieutenant Colonel Kenneth John Hyvonen and Captain Kirk Jones died in the accident which would later result in a court martial for an RAF air traffic controller, who was later found not guilty.[7]

A section of the leading edge, approximately 6 x 3 feet, broke away.[8]
  • On 7 April 2003, F-15E 88-1694/SJ of 4th FW/335th FS crashed near Tikrit, Iraq, both the pilot and Weapon Systems Officer (WSO) were killed.[9]
  • On 4 June 2003, F-15E 87-0186 of the 334th FS 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.[10]

On 3 November 2007, all non-mission critical models of the F-15 were grounded pending the outcome of the crash investigation,[13] and on the following day, grounded non-mission critical F-15s engaged in combat missions in the Middle East.[14] By 13 November 2007 over 1,100 were grounded worldwide after Israel, Japan and Saudi Arabia grounded their aircraft as well.[15] F-15Es were cleared on 15 November 2007 pending aircraft passing inspections.[16] On 8 January 2008, the USAF cleared 60 percent of the F-15A-D fleet for return to flight.[17] 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.[18] The Air Force cleared all its grounded F-15A-D fighters for flight on 15 February 2008 pending inspections, reviews and any needed repairs.[19] In March 2008, Stilwell, the injured pilot, filed a lawsuit against Boeing, the F-15's manufacturer.[20]
  • On 30 July 2008, F-15D serial number 85-0131 of the 65th Aggressor Squadron, 57th Wing 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 second pilot was rescued from the Gulf by an HH-60J Jayhawk from CGAS Clearwater and also taken to the Eglin Hospital.
