Cause of F-15 crash sought
An Air Force safety board is investigating what caused an F-15C to crash about 60 miles northeast of Nellis Air Force Base Friday morning.
The $29.9 million dollar plane went down about 11 a.m. on Bureau of Land Management land after Maj. David Graff safely ejected, Nellis officials said.
Graff, an instructor with the weapons school at Nellis, was flying a training mission with another F-15C.
