Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Americas* An unfortunate pilot error. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The F-15C aircraft, which was valued at approximately $45 million, was destroyed.

The reason fror the coal is that you can bring it up to a good heat at night and then bank it nicely with ashes until morning. This provides enough heat to last all night.
