From what I've seen, it's usually not good when they say conditions of the pilots are unknown.

The U.S. Coast Guard recovered one pilot and a second was reported missing after the one-seat F-15C Eagles crashed at 4:21 p.m. EST (2121 GMT) about 50 miles south of Tyndall Air Force Base.

The recovered pilot's condition was not immediately known.

The planes were from the Air Force's 33rd Fighter Wing based at Eglin Air Force Base, near Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

Yahoo said that one was rescued and the other is missing. Hopefully they both turn up OK.

Makes you wonder if it had anything to do with lack of proficiency due to the jets being grounded.
