Kinja'd!!!

During the rare joint flight between the Air Force Thunderbirds and the Navy Blue Angels last week, two of the Angels’ F/A-18s encountered unexpected wake turbulence and made contact. Both planes sustained minor damage and landed uneventfully.

Here is a link to a video that claims to show the moment of contact.

Looks like a pretty awful day for flying. Reminded me of this, which is always a good read.

I wonder if the Thunderbirds pilots were mocking the Blue Angels pilots for breaking formation. I just can’t picture that not happening.
