F-15 bathing after a flight


Having worked to design and deliver airborne radar, this hits a little harder. Pilot was essentially undamaged.

Supposed to have involved a solo pilot, an instructor, at Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls, Oregon.

What's the new call sign?

Looks like at least a 1,000 foot over run on runway 14. Don't see a field arresting system, Perhaps really hot or a brake failure.

Depending on the cause of the accident, a superior might shorten the new call sign to DIP————.
