Lets hope the other pilot gets recovered and is ok..

"There goes Brazil sale..."

 

That is what is going through your head?

 

You are pathetic.

 

There goes Brazil sale...

After a night of research , the second pilot has not been found (I fear the worse) .

 

The DoD and MN are talking about a collision during a dogfight excercise .

 

Cheers .

That's really bad news- I hope they recover the second pilot - a mid air collision is often fatal to one or both pilots however - it's not always possible to safely eject due to the violence of the collision etc.

 

Fingers crossed for all concerned,

As soon as I read that 2 birds down during a training flight I knew it could only be a Mid Air Collision, and as someone else commented those type of events are rarely survivable for all involved.

All fighters crash you stupid kid. 

 

Not only that, but it is almost certain that the cause of this crash was a mid-air collision.   Collisions happen sometimes for a variety of reasons and it says nothing about the quality of the design or its prospects for export.

Livelihood of many French workers depend on that deal.



@ ArtyEngineer



> WTF does losing two aircraft in what will likely turn out to be a mid air collison have to do with the sale to Brazil?



Would you feel comfortable selecting a fighter that just went down days before you are supposed to have signed the deal???



Now is the worst time for Rafale to crash, but perhaps fate doesn't want to see Rafale exported..

SlowMan , do you really think that it is the time and place ?
