[MilCom] F-15 down in Knox Co Indiana

[Ken]

Interesting to note that the ejected pilot didn't use his AN/PRC-112? 
survival radio to communicate with his wing man that he was ok.   I thought 
that they all carried personal survival gear radio?

More information on the crash including an eye witness (unfortunately didn't 
have a scanner) can be found at:

Now from a marketing effort of milcom capable radio scanner 
retailers/mailorder retailers , IF they were smart they would take some ads 
out in the local newspaper & basically state you too can listen to the air 
activity above your town!!! (required the add coupon be sent in with the 
order for $5.00 off etc).....  There's 19,000 people in that town/area. 
Just think IF 200 to 400 people  went out and bought scanners.  We'd sure be 
getting more reports from that area!!! :)
