Brazilian AF Team Midairs, Four Punch Out Safely

The very colorful Brazilian Air Force Demonstration team, the Esquadrilha da Fumaca (The Smoke Squadron), has been involved in a significant training accident. At least two aircraft collided in flight, requiring each flight crew to use ejection seats to avoid further injury.

There were four crewmen on board the two aircraft. Major Luiz Francisco Tolosa, Captain Marcio Guimaraes de Oliveira, Captain Jose Marcio de Almeida and Tenente Fabricio Calomeno Axe all egressed the aircraft safely and were examined and released by medical officials.

The accident occurred February 13th some 150 miles North of Sao Paolo, Brazil, about 0950 (local time). The two aircraft lost were standard team T-27 Embraer Tucanos (a single engine turboprop with a two-seat/tandem cockpit) in full team livery. The aircraft were declared a total loss and an investigation into the accident is ongoing.
