F-16 Pilot Has Brush With Russian MiG

Near Collision Between Two Airplanes After Airspace Incursion

A NATO F-16 was involved recently in a near-collision with a Russian MiG that the pilot was tracking off the coast of Norway.

The MiG was first tracked off the coast after in penetrated Norwegian airspace, and the F-16 was scrambled to investigate.

In video footage that has been released by Norway, the Russian MiG drops into the flight path of the NATO F-16 with just 60 feet of separation. The only thing that prevented a mid-air collision between the two aircraft was an emergency evasive maneuver performed by the Norwegian pilot.

IJReview reports that over 100 Russian aircraft have been intercepted by NATO forces in 2014.
