It was not immediately clear why the two jets collided....Perhaps they got too close.

The $27 million F-15C that crashed was fro...The pilots are safe. I personally could give a rat's arse how much the plane cost or where it was from.
Friggin communist media! < *rolleyes* >

Pricing out the cost of the jets lost is a way for the media to bash the military.

Perhaps they got too close. It's not the fall that kills you, no matter what altitude you fall from. It's the sudden stop at the end of the fall, every time.

What is going on with our military?!?
First, we had way too many helicopter accidents; now we are colliding jets in midair?!?
Maybe they should not take everyone that wants to fly a plane, and maybe we should be taking the women out of the military! The abilityy seems to have plummeted. How I wish we had the pilots that we had in the past; they seemed vastly more competent.

I got a news flash for ya ace, it happens all the time. Military aviation is a dangerous and challenging occupation even in peace time. I spent 3years as an AF flight surgeon and was involved in 4 separate accident investigations.

“In our 1996 review,\2 we reported that DOD aviation safety had
improved significantly over the previous two decades. Between fiscal
year 1975 and 1995, for example, the annual number of Class A mishaps
decreased from 309 to 76, while the number of fatalities decreased
from 285 to 85. During this period, Class A mishaps per 100,000
flying hours, referred to as the mishap rate, also decreased from
about 4.3 to 1.5. The value of Class A losses during the early 1990s
ranged from a high of about $1.6 billion in fiscal year 1993 to a low
of $1.2 billion in fiscal year 1994.”
