F-18s Collide in Midair, Pilots Safe

Two single seat F/A-18E Super Hornets collided in the airspace over Nevada during a training sortie Monday night.  One pilot ejected and was recovered safely, while the other was able to land his damaged aircraft.

The Super Hornet is a larger, more modern and advanced version of the F/A-18A/C Hornet.  The crash occurred on the heels of another Hornet ejection just last week.
