Growlers crash
- Thread starter TuFun
- Start date
I don't think there will be any little Growlers as the ejections left via parachute so it was more of a spit than a swallow!
When I first saw the video of the mid-air (not the one TuFun posted) my first thought was, somebody's not gonna make it out of that.
Was relieved to see four good chutes and the flight crew were OK. Jets were from VAQ-129, the EA-18 training squadron at NAS Whidbey Island. Staff (instructor) aircrews often perform flight demos at weekend air shows around the country. The ejection sequence is not usually part of the demo.

Yep! One jet right on top of the other! Not exactly the correct rendezvous procedure!
At that closing speed it might only take a blink or sneeze at the wrong time!
