[MilCom] F-15 down in Knox Co Indiana

[Ken]

We all monitor military radio comms, most are pretty typical mundane type 
comm activity:  Clearance, taxi, take off, climb out, air/air informal as 
well as technical, inbound message with maintenance status, a/r ops etc, 
etc..   EVERY once in a great while (fortunately), there's something out of 
the ordinary that happens.  NO one is hoping for this to happen BUT when it 
does hopefully there is a radio hobbyist monitoring & can hear the 
professionalism that goes into trying to solve the problem or take 
appropriate action to avoid civilian injuries below.

The pilot who ejected is fine.  No one was injuried on the ground..  Life 
continues to go on for milcom/milair monitoring.

BTW If you listen for the callsigns than that's great also, there's isn't 
any "one right way" to monitor military/milair communications.
