Eric2020 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) I just hope that it is not again of fatique as the Missouri and the fleet getting out of service. Worst is that this time one pilot died of the accident. Edited February 22, 2008 by Eric2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J35 Draken Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I just hope that it is not again of fatique as the Missouri and the fleet getting out of service. Worst is that this time one pilot died of the accident. Well the news article says it was a mid air collision, so that'd suggest it's not related to fatigue of the aircraft. Sad news anyhow, RIP.
