Air Force pilot in serious condition after F-15 crash; training sorties halted
By: Stephen Losey   

Kadena Air Base in Japan on Monday halted local F-15 training operations after one of its Eagle fighters crashed into the ocean south of Okinawa.

The pilot of the F-15C, who was recovered after successfully ejecting, has been transferred to the U.S. Naval Hospital at Camp Foster and is in serious condition, the 18th Wing at Kadena said in a release Monday.

The 18th Wing said that it paused F-15 training while it reviewed operational, maintenance and safety procedures with its personnel.
