One pilot was killed and two others injured in what the Air Force is calling a “mishap” involving two T-38 trainer aircraft at Laughlin Air Force Base near Del Rio, Texas.
In a release, the Air Force said that two T-38s had had a mishap at approximately 10 a.m. Friday. Several media outlets reported the mishap occured on a Laughlin runway, though the Air Force did not confirm that.
One of the injured pilots was transported to Val Verde Regional Medical Center in Del Rio, the Air Force said, where the pilot was treated and released. The other is in critical condition and was evacuated by air to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio.
The total number of pilots involved or their status as students or instructors was not known.
