U.S. Coast Guard crews searched Tuesday for a National Guard pilot after his F-15 jet fighter crashed into the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon coast. The single-seat aircraft, which was from the 142nd Fighter Wing of the Oregon National Guard, went down about 1:35 p.m. about 35 nautical miles west of Cannon Beach while on a training mission, Salem-News.com reported. The jet was based at the Portland Air Base. The fate of the pilot was not known and the cause of the accident was under investigation. |

#3 As of this morning's news, no sign of the pilot; his wingman was reported to have NOT seen a parachute. God be with him. |

#2 I hope he could eject safely, but even that's brutal. I have a buddy who had to eject once. He came out over an inch shorter. |
