http://www.ejection-history.org.uk/Aircraft_by_Type/f-15.htmI was in the lead F-4 doing a pop-up attack. The F-15s were our MiG Cap. Didn't see the midair but saw 0072 spin in. All attacking F-4s, F-15s and F-5s originated at Nellis. Tanker and F-111s were from elsewhere. 0072 was chasing an A-4 when he was run over.
