US F-15E CRASHED IN AFGHANISTAN, PILOT KILLED

[Nishan_101]

At 9:06 a.m. MST March 28, 2012, an Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle crashed approximately 15 miles outside of a base in Southwest Asia, killing the pilot.

Capt. Francis "Piston" Imlay, pilot deployed with the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing, died from injuries received during the crash.

"It is with a heavy heart I inform you we lost a valued member of the Gunfighter family yesterday," said Col. Ron Buckley, 366th Fighter Wing commander. "Today we mourn the loss of one of our warriors, and our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and coworkers during this time. He was a true professional and his dedication to the Gunfighter family will not soon be forgotten."

Imlay, a native of Vacaville, Calif., was assigned to the 391st Fighter Squadron "Bold Tigers" and played a vital role in supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.

More than 300 Mountain Home AFB Airmen remain deployed in support F-15E overseas contingency missions designed to deliver combat air power for joint operations and to meet ground commander requirements.

The cause of this incident is still under investigation.

I did not know Taliban has long range air defense too. That would be a game changer. Just like when US gave Mujahedin Stingers to fight off Russian gunships.

Rest In Peace, soldier.

Fighting hundreds of miles away from home is not for the faint-hearted or the weak-kneed.

Rest in Hell.

Dear Lord, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

Americans soon will come with some technical fault as all of their previous losses

The guy was a professional soldier serving his country, when you join your country's armed forces, you do not pick and chose your deployments, RIP - dude.

Those making mocking statements should cease, it reflects badly on you.

A life is a life, and every one must value it. In war soldier fight for country pride..

Once Bonapart said "Soldier lay there life for two inch color ribbon". First part , I don't care, US can make many F15. Second part I don't care, US can train many pilots.

But third part I do care, the wife can not make another husband, The son can not make another father. The mother can not make another son..

Please have some respect for soldiers. If you abuse American pilot, they can also abuse you shaheeds.

Brother - I now there have been cases of horrible injustice, but it wrong to paint all the US forces, like that - I know a few US personnel serving and retired - some of them hate this war, but they have signed up to serve and have no choice, that is the price to pay when you are a member of a citizen army, like I said, you don't get to pick and chose your deployments.
