As I understand it the above is a simulation but the actual event did happen as noted below:

n November, 2007 an F-15C flown by the Missouri National Guard split behind the cockpit and broke apart during a training mission. The pilot ejected and did survive, although he was injured.

All models of the F-15 were grounded until an Air Force investigation into the crash concluded that there was a defect in the airplane, which was built in the 1970s by McDonnell Douglas.
