An Air Force F-15 Eagle pilot took to the skies for the first time Monday following a 255-day hiatus from flight because of accidental electrocution that caused his heart to stop for nearly 12 minutes.
Air Force Lt. Col. Jonathan Kassebaum, commander of 125th Operations Support Flight for the Florida Air National Guard, earned his wings back with a training sortie, telling a local news station that it felt like being home.
"It feels normal," he told News4Jax following his flight at Jacksonville Air National Guard Base. Describing the sortie, he said he and his counterparts practiced dogfighting.
