Update F-15QA mishap

Scramble has been informed the aircraft in question is QA010, USAF serial 17-0010 and future Qatar serial 17-010. This particular Eagle was handed over by Boeing earlier this week.

Both pilots are assigned to the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA). This government agency works with contractors to ensure equipment delivery and training of the Qatari crews and aircraft.

The two pilots, one United States Air Force and one United States Navy, sustained minor injuries from the ejection, but only one was taken to hospital for check-ups.

The aircraft left the wet runway during the landing roll and as per standard procedure the ejection seats where activated in case the aircraft would dig in and/or tumble over.

The Eagle is expected to be repaired.
