Beach Post, Monday, June 26, 1972 Artist's Conception of the F15 F15. With Engine, Debuts Today By NORV ROGGEN Assistant City Editor The Air Force's newest fighter plane, sporting an engine built in Palm Beach County, will make its debut today in St. Louis. The F15 fighter, destined to become the workhorse of the nation's air defense, was built by McDonnell Douglas Corp. and uses a Pratt Whitney Aircraft jet engine developed at the company's local plant.
The first of a scheduled 749 planes with a total price tag of about $7.5 billion will be "rolled out" of the McDonnell plant before a crowd of industry, military and top government officials today, but its maiden flight won't take place for several weeks. Although the fighter has impressive deadly capabilities, some observers feel its price Pair Charged in Looting OKEECHOBEE Two charged yesterday with grand theft at trailers involved in Pompano Beach youths were larceny, in connection with last week's tornado at the Treasure Island trailer park.

Current cost per F15 airplane is set at $10.5 million each. However, the manager of the program, Maj. Gen. Benjamin N. Bellis of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, maintains the project is on schedule and its price tag would not be out of line had the Navy and Air Force not engaged in a feud over the engine.
The blame for a cost increase of about $500,000 per plane, Bellis said, rests with the Navy. The Air Force and Navy worked jointly to develop new engines for the F15 and the Navy's new F4 fighter plane being built by Grumman Corp. But last August, the Navy balked at the joint effort and decided to use an existing engine for its plane.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers said Howard's southbound motorcycle and a northbound car driven by Emily Beach, 46, of 111 Monterey collided while the Beach car was making a left turn.

As it happened, it was bad day for hitchhiking, as well (S for chicks. So the cool dude went to a vacant parking space and parked right there on Ocean Boulerard in Palm Beach. Ind that was when it first became apparent to the townspeople that this was no ordinary surfer with an ordinary surf board. He was a surfer with an ordinary ironing board.
So this other guy with an eye for nuance walked over to the dude and remarked, "Hey, man, you're not going to press your luck with that thing are you?" And that's why this dude is laughing. Today SEBASTIAN INLET High 8:05 a.m. 8:49 p.m. Low 2:07 a.m. 2:15 p.m.
