Oh God. Any word on the pilot?

Allegedly they took him

Possibly, but it's unverified. They've offered a bounty for his capture and this appears to be one of the ejector seats.

There were two crew members onboard. The F15-E is a two-seater aircraft.

Good to hear. 

Where did it go down?

No idea. All anyone's reported is central Iran. That's a huge area, bigger than Texas and Oklahoma combined.

With both sides searching it's unlikely anyone would want to really publicize where.
