All models A-E, F's still allowed to fly.

Cracks, causing crashes.

In service since the early 70s....still one of the most formidable fighter planes in the world.

I’ve got a block ‘C,’ but I’ve also got an ‘F,’ so my afternoon flight break will go on as usual.

I may be wrong, but I thought they were cleared to fly after that grounding.

There isn’t any “F” model.

A— original fighter model (most are out of service)
B — 2 seat trainer/fighter
C — current single seat fighter
D — 2 seat version of C
E — Strike Eagle fighter/bomber
K — Korean model

There was a grounding of the F-15 fleet a couple weeks ago due to a crash that may have been related to structural fatigue.

My error, should be A-D grounded, F OK to fly.

Fox reported it as new news.

Only in Iraq and Afghanistan. The older planes remained grounded.

Thanks. I looked on FR and couldn’t come up with what you did. I appreciate the post.

Whatever the problem, I hope it’s not overly difficult to remedy.

I am so glad I held out for the F-18 (I couldn't afford the options on the F-15, anyway).

Maybe it isn’t just Cessnas being made in China
