It is likely to be long January for F-15 Eagle pilots.

Don’t be surprised if the Air Force’s 442 F-15s stay grounded until the end of the month, Air Force officials are saying.

While an accident investigation board has completed its field work into the reasons an F-15C broke up in mid-flight on Nov. 2, resulting the in the service-wide grounding, the investigation’s results may not be finalized until the end of January.
