They list it as occurring in Portugal. But the info I had indicated it occurred in Pre-Saddam-ouster Iraq. If you note, in the foreground is the minaret of a modern mosque.

Still tragic though.

I thought it was somewhere like Kuwait. I'm sure someone will let us know where it was.

None the less, it has serious suck factor. If you are doing formation flight, make sure to talk it out before hand. Who is running the show, how close, what you will do, what everyone will do for a bail out.

Formation flight is awsome cool and fun. Just do it by the numbers.

Typical accident from immature pilots and co-pilots. :mad:
Give a Corvette to a 16 years old and wait to see what happens... :eek:
Those are 2 French Super Pumas, this "accident" occurred over Baghdad, during a military parade. A full scale military victorious parade after the first gulf war.
