Turkish F-4 Phantom fighter jets collide in mid-air

Post by SN30952 »

2 Turkish F-4 Phantom fighter jets have collided in mid-air over Konya province, and at least one pilot has parachuted to safety.
Local television channels earlier reported that all four pilots on board had been killed in the collision.
The jets crashed into a mountainside, sparking a fire in the wooded area.
The pilots were on a training flight.

Several Turkish military aircraft have crashed in recent months.
A Sikorsky helicopter went down in eastern Turkey in February, killing all five crew members.
In January, an F-4 jet crashed, killing two pilots.
Remember them also interfering in civilian air traffic and provoking an Nato ally these last weeks and months.
