Pilots Land Safely After Midair Collision

Taking That "Formation Thing" A Little Too Far

Few Americans realize that the daily lives of our servicemen, even those back here in/over the states, can be fraught with hazard. Two AF pilots learned that for themselves, the hard way, Tuesday. Two F-16 Fighting Falcons landed at Shaw Air Force Base, SC, safely after a midair collision over the Atlantic Ocean on March 9. Neither pilot was injured.

At the time of the accident, the 79th Fighter Squadron aircraft were on a scheduled air-to-air training mission. A damage assessment is ongoing, and other aircraft from Shaw continue to fly.

A board of officers is convening to investigate the accident.
