Search teams found a body and the wreckage of an F-15 jet near a mountaintop in the Scottish Highlands where two U.S. fighter planes disappeared, the Royal Air Force said.
The aircraft--each with one pilot on board--disappeared 45 minutes after taking off Monday from Lakenheath Air Base, about 70 miles northeast of London.
The U.S. Air Force identified the men as Lt. Col. Kenneth Hyvonen and Capt. Kirk Jones. Their ages and home states were not given.
