The two Hawk jets were said to have touched during an “opposition manoeuvre” in which one aircraft flies like a mirror image of another.
One of the jets’ rudders was damaged and Flt Lt Mike Ling, 30, was forced to eject and parachute to safety from a height of around 1,000ft (300m).

The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".
glad to hear he ejected!
And I, I took the path less traveled by
and that has made all the difference......yet...
I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

No kidding Mario! The ship can be replaced! Wishes for a speedy recovery Loo!!!
Glad hes ok. Just me but I think they need to swap out the older a/c for more recent ones. I think 30+ years old for an acrobatic aircraft is pushing it.
I am glad he was ok....
ken
I met them when they came awhile back, they were very nice people. I'm glad to hear everything came out alright.
