One U.S. crew member has been found and an intense search-and-rescue effort continues for the second crew member of an F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet that crashed in Iran, multiple news outlets reported April 3.
A second U.S. military aircraft went down in the Persian Gulf region and the lone pilot was rescued, multiple news outlets reported, including the New York Times and ABC News.
That aircraft was an A-10 attack jet, the outlets reported, citing U.S. military officials. The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
At least one crew member of the two-seater F-15 jet was able to eject after the craft was shot down by Iranian forces, according to multiple news reports. One of the crew was rescued inside Iran. The location and condition of the second crew member was not known.
