"I don't think they liked it when some F15s killed 26 US personnel in a friendly-fire incident -- a hazard in any military operation --"

You even been to an air force base? When I was in college the first time, I worked for Tampa Coca Cola. One summer, I had McDill air force base on my route. McDill is, or at least was, a SAC base there at the end of Dale Mabry. There was a sign at the gate which said something along the lines of "__ days since last fatal accident". There was never more than two digits and often only one.

Fatalities are part of working around those planes.
