* 21 May 2004: F-15C, 81-0027, of the 325th FW, crashed along the shore of St. George Island in the Gulf of Mexico after pilot accidentally pulled the ejection handle. Pilot survived.
* 18 June 2004: F-15C, 79-0054, of the 57th WG, crashed near Nellis AFB, Nevada. Pilot ejected and survived.
* 25 March 2005: F-15C, 80-0052, of the 53d WG, crashed at Nellis AFB. Pilot ejected and survived.
* 17 January 2006: F-15, 78-0498, of the 44th FS, 18th FW, USAF, crashed into the Pacific Ocean near Kadena AB, Okinawa. Pilot ejected and survived.
* 30 May 2007: F-15D, 78-0571, of the 131st FW, Missouri ANG, crashed 8 miles south of Vincennes, Indiana. Pilot ejected and survived, no second crewmember aboard.
* 11 June 2007: F-15C, 83-0017, of the 71st FS, 1st FW, crashed west of Eielson AFB, Alaska after colliding with F-16C 86-0269 during Red Flag exercise. Pilot ejected and survived. The F-16C was damaged but landed safely.
* 26 June 2007: F-15A, 75-0040 of the 123d FS, 142d FW, Oregon ANG, crashed into the Pacific Ocean west of Arch Cape, Oregon. Pilot was killed and apparently did not eject.
* 2 November 2007: F-15C-28-MC, 80-0034, c/n 0687/C183, of the 131st Fighter Wing, Missouri Air National Guard, crashed during air combat maneuvering training near St. Louis, Missouri. The pilot, Maj. Stephen W. Stilwell, ejected but suffered serious injuries. The crash was the result of an in-flight breakup due to structural failure. On 3 November 2007, all non-mission critical models of the F-15 were grounded pending the outcome of the crash investigation, and on the following day, grounded non-mission critical F-15s engaged in combat missions in the Middle East. By 13 November 2007 over 1,100 were grounded worldwide after Israel, Japan and Saudi Arabia grounded their aircraft as well. F-15Es were cleared on 15 November 2007 pending aircraft passing inspections. On 8 January 2008, the USAF cleared 60 percent of the F-15A-D fleet for return to flight. On 10 January 2008, the accident review board released its report stating the 2 November crash was related to the longeron not meeting drawing specifications. The Air Force cleared all its grounded F-15A-D fighters for flight on 15 February 2008 pending inspections, reviews and any needed repairs. In March 2008, Stilwell, the injured pilot, filed a lawsuit against Boeing, the F-15's manufacturer.
* 1 February 2008: F-15D, 78-0562, of the 154th Wing, Hawaii ANG, crashed in the Pacific Ocean near Hickam AFB, Hawaii. Pilot ejected and survived.
* 20 February 2008: F-15C-26-MC, 79-0075, c/n 0624/C144, of the 58th FS, 33d FW, USAF, Eglin AFB, Florida, one of two F-15C Eagles that collided over the Gulf of Mexico approximately 50 miles south of Tyndall AFB, Florida, killing 1st Lt. Ali Jivanjee. Capt. Tucker Hamilton ejected from the other fighter and survived. Both pilots ejected and one was rescued from the Gulf by the fishing boat Niña, owned by Bart Niquet of Lynn Haven, Florida, which was guided to the pilot by an HC-144A Ocean Sentry aircraft. A 1st SOW AC-130H and an MV-22 Osprey were also diverted to the scene to help search as were five Coast Guard aircraft and two vessels. An HH-60J Jayhawk from Coast Guard Aviation Training Center, Mobile, Alabama lifted the pilot from the fishing boat and evacuated him to the Eglin Hospital. The second pilot was rescued from the Gulf by an HH-60J Jayhawk from CGAS Clearwater and also taken to the Eglin Hospital. One pilot subsequently died several hours later from his injuries. An accident investigation released 25 August 2008 found that the accident was the result of pilot error and not mechanical failure. Both pilots failed to clear their flight paths and anticipate their impending high-aspect, midair impact, according to Brig. Gen. Joseph Reynes Jr., Air Combat Command's inspector general who led the investigation.
* 20 February 2008: F-15C-32-MC, 81-0043, c/n 0793/C226, of the 58th FS, 33d FW, USAF, Eglin AFB, Florida, one of two F-15C Eagles that collided over the Gulf of Mexico as above.
* 30 July 2008: F-15D-39-MC, 85-0131, c/n 0957/D057, of the 65th Aggressor Squadron, 57th ATG, at Nellis Air Force Base, departed controlled flight and entered into a spin while executing a planned maneuver during exercise Red Flag 08–3. The aircraft was destroyed after impacting the ground 20 miles northwest of Rachel, Nevada in an uninhabited area on the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) belonging to the Bureau of Land Management. Both aircrew ejected. The back seat observer pilot sustained minor injuries and was rescued; the front seat pilot hit the ground before his parachute fully deployed and died upon ground impact. There were no civilian casualties or additional damage.
* 18 July 2009: F-15E-49-MC, 90-0231, c/n 1160/E133, of the 336th FS, 4th FW, USAF, crashed in central Afghanistan, killing the two crew members.

#### 2010s

* 22 March 2011: F-15E-51-MC, 91-0304, c/n 1211/E169, of the 492nd FS "Bolars", 48th FW, USAF, from RAF Lakenheath crashed near Benghazi, Libya in Operation Odyssey Dawn. Both crewmen ejected safely and were recovered by friendly forces. Equipment problems with weapons interface software and the right external fuel tank led to a strong right-wing weight imbalance, which caused the aircraft to enter a flat spin during a low-speed, high altitude, 100-degree bank-angle right turn. The mishap investigation board found the cause of the crash to be lack of published knowledge on F-15E maneuvering with large external store weight imbalances at high altitude.
* 24 October 2011: F-15C-29-MC, 80-0041, c/n 0704/C190, of the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base crashed near Alamo, Nevada. The pilot ejected and was picked up by an Air Force helicopter a half hour later. No injuries were reported. The resulting USAF investigation attributed the crash to six contributing factors, including a problem with the plane's radome and the pilot's subsequent actions.
* 28 March 2012: F-15E-49-MC, 90-0235, c/n 1165/E137, of the 391st EFS, 366th FW, USAF, deployed from Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, crashed due to an accident approximately 15 miles outside a base in Southwest Asia. The pilot, Capt. Francis D. "Piston" Imlay, 31, of Vacaville, California died from his injuries. The WSO suffered minor injuries only.
* 3 May 2012: F-15E-50-MC, 90-0254, c/n 1191/E156, of the 391st EFS, 366th FW, USAF, deployed from Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, crashed on a "routine training flight" in Southwest Asia. Both crew members ejected safely and no one on the ground was injured. An investigation found that, for unknown reasons, titanium components in the right engine had ignited, resulting in complete loss of aircraft hydraulics and electrical power, which made the aircraft unflyable.
* 27 May 2013: F-15C-24-MC, 79-0025, c/n 0557/C094, of the 44th FS, 18th FW, USAF, crashed off the southern Japan island of Okinawa after the aircraft developed problems in flight. The pilot ejected and was recovered safely. The F-15, flying out of Kadena Air Base, went down in the Pacific about 70 miles east of Okinawa.
* 27 August 2014: F-15C-41-MC, 86-0157, c/n 1004/C385, of the 104th FW, Massachusetts Air National Guard, crashed near Deerfield, VA. The jet went down shortly after 9 AM south east of Deerfield, VA. The jet was en route to Louisiana from Westfield, Massachusetts. Investigation at the scene of the crash show that the pilot never ejected.
* 8 October 2014: F-15D-41-MC, 86-0182, c/n 0994/D062, of the 48th FW, USAF, based at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, crashed in a field close to a school near Weston Hills, Lincolnshire, UK. The pilot safely ejected. No one on the ground was injured. The cause of the crash was attributed to imperfections in the assembly of the nose cap which caused an uneven aerodynamic surface and the pilot carrying out a maneuver which was an "inappropriate response to conditions".
* 10 June 2018: F-15C 84-008 of the 44th Fighter Squadron at Kadena Air Base crashed into the ocean south of Okinawa. The pilot ejected and was recovered by Japanese rescue forces.

#### 2020s

* 15 June 2020: A USAF F-15C, Serial 86–0176, of the 48th Fighter Wing based in RAF Lakenheath, crashed in the North Sea off of the Yorkshire Coast while on a training mission. Pilot Kenneth "Kage" Allen died in the accident. The cause of the crash was attributed to pilot error in a reduced visibility scenario.

### Israel

* 29 September 1979: 133 Squadron F-15A 676 was lost in a landing accident. Pilot Guy Golan was killed.
* 1 May 1983: during an Israeli Air Force training dogfight, 106 Squadron F-15D 957 Markia Schakim (Sky soarer) collided with an A-4 Skyhawk. Unknown to pilot Zivi Nedivi and his copilot, the right wing of the Eagle was sheared off roughly two feet (60 cm) from the fuselage. The F-15 entered a controllable spin after the collision. Zivi decided to attempt recovery and engaged afterburner to increase speed, allowing him to regain control of the aircraft. The pilot was able to prevent stalling and maintain control because of the lift generated by the large horizontal surface area of the fuselage, the stabilators and remaining wing areas. The F-15 landed at twice the normal speed to maintain the necessary lift, and its tailhook was torn off completely during the landing during a failed attempt at using the emergency arresting gear installed on the runway to bring the aircraft to a halt. Zivi managed to bring his F-15 to a complete stop approximately 20 ft (6 m) from the end of the runway. He was later quoted as saying "(I) probably would have ejected if I knew what had happened." The A-4 was destroyed in the collision.
* 1 April 1987: 106 Squadron F-15D 223 HaNamer HaMeofef (Flying Leopard), the lead aircraft of operation Wooden Leg, crashed following a low speed flat spin. Pilot Yiftach Mor is killed, navigator Ofer Paz ejected successfully.
* 25 August 1988: F-15A 672 Tornado collided with F-15A 684 HaArpad (The Vampire), killing both pilots, 133 Squadron commander Ram Caller and pilot Ehud Falk.
* 10 February 1991: 106 Squadron F-15C 821 Peres (Bearded vulture), 80–0130, crashed during a training sortie. Pilot Israel Ornan ejected but drowned.
* 10 August 1995: 106 Squadron F-15D 965, 80–0134, suffered a birdstrike. Ronen Lev and Yaron Vayonte are killed.

* 5 July 2011: F-15J, 72-8879, of the 204th Tactical Fighter Squadron, During a training flight the F-15J crashed in the East China Sea about 180 kilometres (110 miles) northwest of Naha city on Okinawa island. The aircraft's speed brake and part of a wing were found about an hour later. The pilot, Major Yuji Kawakubo, was not found and is presumed dead.

### South Korea

* 7 June 2006: F-15K, ROKAF, crashed off the coast of Pohang, North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea, during a nighttime intercept training mission, killing both crew members. The Republic of Korea Air Force commissioned a full investigation. The ROKAF later issued a public statement saying that the accident was apparently caused by both crew members entering a state of g-LOC that lasted 16 seconds and resulted in loss of control of the aircraft. Subsequent public outcry ensued with accusations of a cover-up because the blackbox was never recovered, and F-15Ks are equipped with automatic GLC (G Limited Control anti g-LOC device) systems. In addition the crew members were both seasoned Air Force veterans and the claim that both lost consciousness simultaneously was questioned in the press. (However, ROKAF reported that F-15K models do not have automatic GLC as other F-15 variants.)
* 5 April 2018: F-15K Slam Eagle crashed in the Yuhak mountain range in Chilgok, North Gyeongsang, on its way back to the Daegu Air Base after an hour-long mission. Two F-15K pilots killed in plane crash.
