U.S. Forces Rescue One Crew Member From F-15 Downed In Iran; Search Continues For Second Airman

Описание: American forces rescued one crew member on Friday after Iran downed a U.S. F-15E fighter jet flying over the southwestern part of the country. The crew member is safe and receiving medical care. The fate of the jet’s other crew member is still unknown as of 1230pmET.

Verified photos and videos show at least one U.S. C-130 aircraft and two Black Hawk helicopters flying low over central and southwest Iran as part of a search and rescue effort to locate and recover the crew.

The downing of the F-15E fighter jet, which have two seats, marks the first time Iran has struck down a U.S. fighter jet since the war in Iran began over a month ago.

The Iranian military is also searching for the crew in hopes of holding them hostage, and has asked Iranian civilians in the area to join the search, offering a reward if they’re found, according to @axios.
