Włączyli w to wszystkie F-15. Nawet Mudhens w Iraku i Afganistanie, zezwolono tylko na wyloty w celu wsparcia wojsk koalicyjnych, jeśli te będą zagrożone.Spitfire pisze:[...] chodzi o całkiem pokaźną flotę. Swoją drogą wliczają w to F-15E? Chyba nie... A tak to wszystkie inne wersje, czy też jakiś konkretne typy lub roczniki?

BREAKING!!! F-15s Grounded Again
We just got this breaking news at Military.com in a few minutes ago and I wanted to get the word out to DT readers...
An informed DT reader told me this afternoon the Air Force had re-grounded its fleet of F-15s after they were returned to flight last week.
Military.com reporter Bryant Jordan got the details...
Barely more than a week after returning the F-15 Eagle fleet to flight the Air Force is once again grounding most of the planes, Military.com has learned.
F-15 models A through D -- a total of 442 planes -- were ordered grounded by Air Combat Command,Langley Air Force Base, Va., late on Nov. 27, ACC spokesman Maj. Thomas Crosson said in an interview.
The latest problem is with cracks in the planes' metal support beams, called longerons, that run the length of the aircraft, and make up the sill on which the canopy sits, Crosson told Military.com.
The entire F-15 fleet was ordered grounded in early November after the break up and crash of a Missouri Air National Guard Eagle. The Air Force began lifting the restrictions on the fleet Nov. 19 - starting with F-15E Strike Eagles - following aggressive inspections of the planes.
ACC called for the new groundings after metallurgical analysis of the planes suggested there could be possible cracking problems with the longerons.
Officials now are working at Warner Robins Air Force Base, Ga., to develop an inspection list that will be sent out to F-15 maintainers across the Air Force.
Crosson said the list should be completed in a day or two, and will include a timeframe for how long the actual inspections should take.
He could not say how long it would before the latest restrictions would be lifted from the entire fleet.
Spadł kolejny F-15... maszyna w wersji D. Do wypadku doszło w odległości 60 mil od wysp Oahu na Hawajach. Pilot katapultował się i jest cały. Maszyna należała do 199. eskadry Gwardii Narodowej.
