Two F/A-18F Super Hornets assigned to VFA-211 were involved in a mid-air collision while flying off the coast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina on May 26 at approximately 10:40 a.m. local time.
All four crew members ejected safely, one pair was picked up by a Coast Guard HH-60 and the other crew was saved by a fishing boat.
They were later sent to Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center for medical examinations.
