Finnish Air Force F/A-18 mid air collision

[v2]

As the title says a couple of Finnish F/A-18s had a mid air collision today, fortunately both aircraft made emergency landings and there were no fatalities.

That is good to hear of no fatalities. Neither of the planes look too badly damaged (to me) but it must of scared the sh*t out of the pilots!

 

[Aggie08]

Yeah, wow, they may need replacement seats along with the new canopy and tailfin...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

can the finns do the repairs or will they have to go back to america?

Boeing has a field team that could go there to do repairs if they don't have 'depot' capability.

It's big business for them - you should see what civilian operators do to their planes. Boeing is always glad to help them out for a nice fee! $$$$$$

[Nonskimmer]

No one could filter you out, lancky. You'd just bust on in anyway I'm sure.

 

[lesofprimus]

Or he'd just use his magic green wand and turn us all into newts....

 

[evangilder]

But you get better.

 

[lesofprimus]

Bout time someone caught onto the Monty Python refrence, jeez, and all these Brits around....

 

[evangilder]

I was waiting to see if someone else caught that one.
