June 26, 2019
An investigation is under way into a fatal collision involving of a pair of German air force Eurofighter combat aircraft near Rostock on 24 June. The two jets were part of a formation of three single-seat Eurofighters from the Luftwaffe's 73 Squadron, which had taken off for a training flight from their base at Rostock airport, close to the Baltic Sea. One of the pilots died during the accident, while the other – an instructor – was rescued alive, the Bundeswehr says. Both pilots operated the ejection seat following a "contact" between the two aircraft, around 20min into the flight, the Bundeswehr says. The pilot of the third aircraft involved in the mission observed two parachutes descending to the ground. The Bundeswehr has launched an investigation into the cause of the accident.
