Citat:Japan grounds fighter jet fleet
Japan has grounded more than 200 F-15 fighter jets after a fuel tank fell off one of the war planes during a training mission.
Flames were seen under the wing and fallen parts were scattered at sites near the western city of Komatsu.
No-one was injured in the incident and the plane landed safely.
It is the second time in three months that officials have suspended F-15 flights.
The 155-kg (150lbs) tank, which was empty, and parts of a dummy missile came free and fell from the plane as it was nearing a field for landing. The debris fell on 10 locations, including a sewage plant, officials said.
"We take this accident very seriously," Gen. Shigeru Iwasaki, the head of Japan's air forces, said at a news conference on Friday. He said the cause was under investigation.
In July, the fleet was grounded after a plane crashed into the East China Sea. The pilot, though presumed dead, is still listed as missing and no cause of the accident has been declared.
Japan Air Self-Defence Force officials said that all missions except emergency scrambles were suspended and will last until the safety of Japan's 202 F-15 fighters has been confirmed.
The latest incident comes as Tokyo is seeking to replace its aging fighter jets. It is considering both US-designed aircraft and the Eurofighter Typhoon in a deal expected by the end of the year and worth more than $8bn.

Nije baš dobra reklama za Mitsubishi a za one koji neznaju da su sklapani u Japanu mislit će isto za Boeing.

Bolje da krivi letno ogranicene starudije. Mada videh Indijce da kako samo polecu sa MIG-21 ko da cepaju Su-35, ostro visoko ili ostro na stranu(postavih juce na temi o MIG-21 emisiju o njima gde se vidi malo u par navrata). Tako da ima tu oba. Jesu neka rusenja bile krivice pilota. A keca nije uopste tesko preterati na stranu bez povratka.
Uostalom sam je rekao. Za ovo piloti nisu krivi sto oni sve rastezu.

He said pilots would not be training on the unforgiving MiG-21 after December 2012.
Hawk advanced jet trainers would simplify the conversion of fledging fighter pilots from subsonic Kiran trainers to supersonic fighters such as Sukhoi-30, Jaguars and Mirage 2000.
"After December 2012 all pilots will be trained on Hawks. So this is a very crucial period. We have to be very careful. This is also linked to the basic trainer aircraft, which is a starting point. If the base is good, then you will not have this problem," the air chief said.
The defence ministry is on the verge of signing a contract for acquiring Pilatus PC 7 basic trainers.
