he pilot of a U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle shot down by Iran survived another shootdown just weeks earlier when Kuwaiti forces mistakenly downed American aircraft in a friendly fire incident, according to a report published Monday. National security reporter Sean Naylor reported that the unnamed pilot was flying one of three F-15E fighter jets accidentally shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses on March 2 during the opening days of the war in Iran. The pilot safely ejected and returned to flying duties before being shot down again in a later combat mission over Iran.
