Two Hurt, One Missing In F/A-18 Collision

Search Continues For Missing Aviator

Two aviators were hospitalized in serious condition at a California hospital Tuesday morning after their F/A-18F collided with an E-model over the China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station. The search continued Tuesday morning for the pilot of the E-model.

As ANN reported in real-time Monday night, the two aircraft collided and crashed during a training mission at 1130 PDT Monday. Search teams from China Lake were immediately dispatched to the crash site and were able to rescue the two injured fliers from the F-model.

A spokeswoman for Ridgecrest Hospital said one crewmember suffered a broken leg and internal injuries. Both were stabilized before they were flown by air ambulance from the crash site, she said.

Neither aircraft carried live ordnance. Both were stationed at NAS Lemoore, according to a base spokesman.
