Ejection. I was not quick to judge the pilot. I've studied that accident in detail. I've spent time in Israel and we talked about the accident. As a wing safety officer, I learned that pilots tend to want to save an aircraft if they perceive that an accident was their fault. In this particular case, the perception was that the collision was the pilots fault, thus there was a desire on the pilots part to save the aircraft even though success was highly unlikely. He was very fortunate to land the aircraft - and he made aviation history by doing so. Personally, I would not be willing to risk my life in order to save face or make history. It is true that Israel must save every aircraft it can because of limited funds, but when an aircraft is damaged to such an extent that it is scrap, then saving it does not make sense. I have ejected and I have experienced the urge to save the aircraft. But, once the decision is made to eject (actually it's made before takeoff in most cases), following through is straight forward. So, Cappy, I didn't make it clear in my original critique, but I don't judge other pilots unless I do have all the information. The jet was flown to landing due to the capability of the F-15, not due to the ability of the pilot. In the same situation, given adequate normal training in the F-15, you, too, could have landed the jet. The jet landed due to the built-in capability of the jet. Regardless, the best option was to eject. Regards, Stan Sutterfield Do not archive Stan you seem so sure of what is correct aviation judgment. To castigate a fellow airman when you could not have possibly known what he perceived at the time of an incident is unfair. I learned a long time ago not to criticize other pilots when it comes to their judgment. Believe what you what, but don't be so quick to openly judge others without all the information.

I will to. If you want to "believe" there was not correct judgment in that particular case. That is perfectly OK. But now you say, "I know exactly what was the correct aviation judgment in that particular case". Harsh words in my opinion. What makes you the expert?

You two should go over there and kick some butt. We'll talk about RV's while you are gone.
