Vertical Power, along with its EFIS partners, recently announced the VP-X Electronic
Circuit Breaker System.
The VP-X uses proven electronic circuit breakers to simplify wiring and provide
advanced electrical system capabilities. Monitor the status of individual devices
and the entire electrical system right from your EFIS. Avionics, lights,
trim, and flaps can all be controlled using standard switches or the EFIS.
The VP-X works with Advanced Flight Systems, Grand Rapids Technologies HX and HX
Sport, and MGL Voyager/Odyssey Gen 2 EFIS products.

O.K. maybe it's a bit 'off topic' and I'm not convinced that it is even
genuine. How come someone just happened to be filming when it happened?
Has anyone else come across these pics?

There I was just flying along, enjoying the
flight...
And what's so cool is they actually pay me to do
this!
Hmmm... What's that strange sound? Something feels
different!
Hey, why am I looking up?
Whoa here. What the hell? ?Controls aren't
working.
Time for a mirror check. ?Hey, where's the rest of
my F-15?
Uh oh, it's over there. ?I think I've got a
definite 'Aw, sh*t' going on here.
I gotta wonder, am I the first guy to ever
experience 'cockpit-airframe separation anxiety?'
OK, enough is enough! ?I'm outta' here! But first,
the canopy has to go...
OK, now it's my turn. I'm gonna be gone - soon as I
find that frickin' lower handle.
Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about. This
'incident' caused the USAF to ground its fleet of F-15's.
What caused the mid air break up? The main
"longeron" (stringer) behind the cockpit failed due to corrosion.

I have seen this one before. It is true that an F-15 broke apart in fligh
t, but I am not convinced that this sequence is real.

It's a real event but the pictures are from an animated reconstruction:

Hi Dave:
Yes, I have seen these pictures from a few years back.
As for "How come someone just happened to be filming when it happened?" The
plane and pilot were flying formation. I ALWAYS carry a camera when I fly
formation. What is a bit unusual is the camera angle of the pictures. The
picture is from the top down with the plane ACUTE. This is NOT an accepted
position. He should have been ON THE LINE / On Station. MAYBE the pictures
were taken to SHOW the NUGGET that he is acute.
Also at one point picture 3 the camera ship is in a position of being over
head as if the other ship was doing a Cross Under. But again he is way
acute. I would have kicked him OUT.
Also it looks like he lost his canopy in picture #6, in #7 there are either
particles of the canopy or vapor. Same in Pic #8, in #9 particles of canopy
and pic #10 - NO CANOPY.
Of course the pictures could be out of sync.
What I see missing is the trail of wires, cables and debris from the canopy
section.
