Japanese F-15 Fighter Disappears from Radar, Search on for Pilot
A Japanese Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) F-15 fighter disappeared from radars shortly after taking off from Komatsu airbase, Ishikawa Prefecture, earlier today.
The jet was conducting training with a crew of two aboard when radar contact with it was lost when it was about 5km from the base off the Sea of Japan. Some reports claimed a person believed to be a crew member was located in the sea.
The Air Force said it found some floating objects in the area where the aircraft went off radar during its search and rescue operation.
The fighter belonged to a squadron that functions as enemy aircraft in tactical flight training.
