The official report from the F15 investigation
In case anyone wanted the excruciating (public) details.
The pictures are worth more than the usual word rate, in this case. Sadly, they are given in a lousy power point presentation (.ppt file).

My last seven years in the AF I was the Safety Manager for my wing.
I was involved in countless Class C mishaps like FOD and bird strikes. Because of the costs assigned to A/C components FOD or bird strike damage is reportable as a misahap and requires a mishap report. I had three Class B’s, 1 FOD, one structural (unintended canopy jettison) and one where the BDU-33 spotting charge fired in the bay puncturing a 3″ fuel line and one Class A, non aircraft.
This investigation and mishap report will be used at the Safety Center at Kirtland as an example of what a Class A report should look like. All the excruciating details.
A very good job.
