Just a question about the missing F15 crew member (apologies if spoken about before...).
I assume that they have beacons for SAR, so maybe the beacon is faulty?
Do they have food/water pouchs etc?
Do they carry gold coins etc, (like the SAS (Andy McNab in Bravo Two Zero mentions handing over)).?
If both ejected 'around' the same time, I wonder what the proximity would be and surely the other pilot would have had eyes on him?
If the seat failed to eject, then the body would have been in the cockpit and all over the Iranian news.
Maybe the rescued pilot saw the eject but no chutes (seat to still be found)...?
Obvioulsy, they have evasion training, but water and shelter (food in at least a week), is going to be prime, but if no comms, it's going to be tough...
Hopefully a good outcome will ensue,,,
