Two F-15C Eagles from the 58th FS, 33rd FW, Eglin AFB FL had a mid air collision 35 miles south of Panama City FL. Both pilots successfully ejected and were rescued by USCG search and rescue personal. Unfortunately the Air Force announced last night that one of the pilots died from the injuries he received in the crash. A formal accident investigation board will be formed to determine the cause of the accident. Most of the time in midairs it end up being pilot error with a loss of situational awareness. We will not know for sure until the board releases its finally report down the road.
