The U.S. Air Force resumed authorizing flights of its F-15 fighter jets Nov. 23, two weeks after it grounded them following an accident, a military statement said.
“As of today, 219 of the 224 E-models and 294 of the 442 A-D models in the inventory have been inspected and cleared for flight,” said John Corley, a general in the Air Combat Command, in a statement on the force’s Web site.
“I have directed each F-15 aircraft be inspected and cleared before returning to operational status,” he added. “The cause of the mishap remains under investigation.”.......
