Quote:Two US aircraft involved in the rescue of the American F-15 fighter jet over Iran have also come under fire, according to two US officials speaking to CBS.
The BBC's US partner reports that an A-10 Warthog taking part in the search and rescue was hit, with the pilot ejecting over the Gulf, where he was rescued.
Two helicopters were also involved in the search, rescuing one of the two F-15E airmen from the earlier crash, CBS says, and the helicopter carrying a recovered pilot was hit by small arms fire, injuring crew members on board. The helicopter landed safely and the personnel are being treated.
CBS also reports that the F-15 was shot down early afternoon local time. The search is still reportedly under way for the second crew member, a weapon systems officer.

I believe the 2nd crew member has also been rescued.
