The pilot is extremely lucky that Ian knew what to do and did it! Bravo Zulu, Ian!

I read about this the other day. Lakenheath I recall. I hope they gave the guy a look inside an F15. They should give him a ride too. If The Blue Angels and Thunderbirds can do incentive rides then they should get this guy up in an F15. Whiz him down the Mach Loop. 👍

A great story from a flight enthusiast, some quick etc

I read that article and immediately thought was, what was happening in the  control tower? Not exactly a busy airport is it, I would have imagined that watching expensive planes take off would be farly routine.  My second thought was why no alarm was activated in such a complex piece of machinery? 

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X on ROG CROSSHAIR VIIl DARK HERO (AM4), Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 V2 OC and 32 GB Vengeance Pro Ram 3600MHz. DELL Alienware AW3420DW 3440x1440 and DELL U2414H

Maybe they should add a "check engine" light to the F-15E. 😂
