US F15 down in Lincolnshire
Really hope the pilot landed safely which if using a Martin Baker seat, almost 100% guaranteed.
On a positive note, that's one less killing machine to be used against innocent civilians that the US is in the practice of mistaking as 'Terrorists' or even 'Blue on Blue' mistaken Identity kills', one less out of the Rothschild's arsenal,

911, maybe it was even the exact same aircraft that fired the hologram missile that made everyone think it was an airliner on that fateful day???
Dear lord, forgive him for he knows not what he does...

From Sky News:-
A spokesman for USAF's 48 Fighter Wing based at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk confirmed one of its F-15s was involved in the incident during a training exercise.
He added: "The pilot ejected and is safe."

All,
The ACES II seat is excellent, and has a fantastic survival record. Just watch the Thunderbirds mishap at Mountain Home on youtube to see it's capabilities in action!
Interestingly, MB incorporated some of the ACES II system features into the Mk 16 seat for Typhoon and F35.

Every time I see a post of ac in the boneyard it make me wonder why we don't preserve our own "retired" aircraft. As it is all our Jags, Harriers and more recently F3 and GR4 Tornados taken out of service either get reduced for spares or sold for scrap. No hope for maintaining a reserve fleet or an attrition reserve.
We never seem to learn from history....how many WWII ac saw service in Korea, and ditto Korean War ac featuring in action in Viet Nam.

Don't wory about other posters mocking you.
I think it brilliant that we live in a free country where you and I are free to say what we want without state reprisal.
It's a shame you might not be recognising that the armed forces who protect us are partly responsible for our freedom and continued use of the a English language, but luckily they continue to protect you and me even if you don't appreciate it.

Sadly we don't have any desert like conditions to store aircraft out in the open here. And not enough airfields to store them either (well not anymore). Mind you I do have a rather crumpled large print of High Ercall after WW2 with quite a few airframes on it....
All the F.3s that went into RTP were stripped for spares (which is generally a good thing cost wise) GR.4s are following slowly.
Although hopefully a lot slower given the trouble that DAVE is having. And the fact that it, (Tornado) is busy in several places now.

Still, what do you expect from a Porsche driver?

Excellent put down if I may say
Glad it appears to be just a bit of machinery damage and nothing worse
it did say they would be over this side of the country for a bit this week in the local papers
F-15 Eagles carry out combat training over Stamford - Rutland Times
Two Americanjets are carrying out combat training in the skies above Stamford and Peterborough today (7 October).
The F-15 Eagles from the 493s Fighter Squadron USAF are based at RAF Lakenheath.
They would normally practise their basic fighting manoeuvres over the sea, but due to the poor weather they are instead flying inland.
An RAF spokesman said the planes would be in the area for two to three days and would not be flying below 4,000ft.
The spokesman said the planes may seem lower, but that was due to their size. They have a wingspan of 42ft and are 63ft 9in long.
The F-15s will not be landing at RAF Wittering.

Hoping the crew of the F-15 are OK, but I bet "911truth" is at his window watching for a blacked out van with funny aerials on the roof as I write, while wearing a hat made of tin foil for some strange anti-alien abduction reason.
