Two Hawks from the RAF's display team the Red Arrows
were involved in a mid-air collision during training in Crete. One Hawk was destroyed and the pilot had to eject, he suffered non-fatal injuries. The other Hawk was able to land. The Bear is active it seems,
RAF fighters have been scrambled 20 times over the last year to intercept Russian aircraft approaching British airspace.
Scratch one BAE Hawk, even Scotty couldn't fix this
The JSF may be a project rapidly stampeding out of control, at least cost wise, but at least there is being made some decent progress with the flight testing.
The V/STOL F-35B has now made a vertical landing.
Denmark is delaying it's decision as to whether to buy the JSF or some other fighter until 2014. Romania meanwhile
is to buy 24 second-hand F-16s to replace it's Soviet era MiG-21s.
