News F-16's collide over South Carolina

Thoughts go out to the family of that pilot. Hopefully they will find him alive and well, if he was able to eject.

Reminds me of a similar accident here in Indiana about 5 years ago. Two F16s from the Indiana ANG collided during routine dogfighting training. One pilot was killed.

Yes, there was too a similar case here over the Gulf of Mexico when 2 F-15's collided and on of the pilot's died. The 920th Rescue Wing from Patrick AFB was even alerted.
