HA! Now THAT is weird! We posted the same question at the same time!!1

Well, that helps clear things up. I wonder why they were flying these two F-15's then. It's also odd that this occured hours before the navy is planning to shoot down USA 193.

there all back in the air

All remaining US Air Force Boeing F-15A-D Eagles have been returned to flight, contingent on completion of individual inspections on each aircraft's fuselage longerons.

The USAF does not expect any of the 149 aircraft to require repair and says there will be no operating restrictions on Eagles that pass these final inspections. But all F-15A-Ds will require repetitive checks for longeron cracks every 400 flying hours



of the aircraft which have cracks - i personally think they will just write the airframes off.
