The McDonnell-Douglas F-15 Eagle, British Aerospace Sea Harrier, and Sukhoi Su-27 are three aircraft that have never been shot down in air-to-air combat. The F-15 has a combat record of at least 104-0, the Sea Harrier shot down 20 Argentinian aircraft in the Falklands War with zero losses, and the Su-27 took down four Eritrean MiGs with zero losses in the 1997-98 Eritrean-Ethiopian War.
A US Air Force F-15D Eagle fighter jet was involved in a landing mishap at Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls, Oregon, and ended up in a drainage canal. The pilot, who was the only person on board, was able to exit the aircraft safely and was taken to a medical center for evaluation. The cause of the accident is under investigation, and the extent of the damage to the aircraft is unclear. The F-15C/D jets at Kingsley Field are set to be replaced by the F-15EX, and the incident may hasten their retirement.
