This afternoon a Air National Guard F-15 crashed during a training exercise approximately 35 miles off the Oregon Coast.

The pilot cannot be located. Coast Guard air and surface assets from Astoria and North Bend, Oregon are participating.

Good luck to them. Isn't there a USAFR SAR group out there?
