America Has a Long Tradition of Covertly Flying Enemy Aircraft
« on: October 22, 2017, 07:03:36 am »
By Tom Cooper

On Sept. 6, 2017, the U.S. Air Force announced that one of its aircraft had crashed the previous day in the Nevada Test and Training Range, roughly 100 miles north of Las Vegas. Just a day earlier, two A-10s crashed during a training mission over the same range.

Both A-10 pilots ejected safely, but the pilot of the aircraft that crashed on Sept. 5 was less lucky. Lt. Col. Eric ‘Doc’ Schulz died in the accident. In 2008, Schultz graduated from the Air Force’s elite Test Pilot School in 2008. Three years later, he became the 28th pilot to fly the F-35 stealth fighter.
