NAHA, Japan — The Air Force said Thursday it has found cracks in two F-15 fighter jets stationed at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa through an investigation following the crash of an F-15 in Missouri in November.

Since a second flight suspension order was issued Nov. 28 for F-15s worldwide, base personnel have checked 30 of the more than 40 F-15C and D jets at Kadena and found cracks in the longerons of two of them, according to the base’s public relations officials.

Following the Nov. 2 crash of a Missouri Air National Guard F-15C aircraft, the Air Force suspended F-15 flights citing a possible structural failure in the aircraft, and issued a third directive Monday to stand down all of the roughly 450 F-15 jets in the A to D models, excepting only the E model.

The Japanese Air Self-Defense Force also checked all its roughly 200 F-15 jets of models similar to the U.S. Air Force’s F-15C and D after the crash but found no cracks and would not be affected by the air force’s third directive, Japan’s Defense Ministry said.

驻日美空军嘉手纳基地2架F-15战斗机发现结构隐患

美“空军时报”网站:美空军下达F-15战斗机第三次停飞命令后,驻日本冲绳嘉手纳基地官员表示目前该基地已发现有两架该型战斗机存在纵梁结构隐患。自11月28日美空军下达第二次停飞命令后,嘉手纳基地维护人员已经完成全基地40余架F-15C/D型战斗机中30架的检查工作,已经发现两架该型战斗机存在纵梁结构隐患。日本航空自卫队也对所有200余架F-15战斗机进行了全面检查,未发现存在结构隐患,因此未受到美空军第3次停飞命令的影响。Cracks found in 2 F-15s at Kadena
