I got this off the milcom mailing list:

Apparently, on August 8 sometime late afternoon,two F-16's from the 422TES
collided on the Nellis ranges. One aircraft RTB'd Nellis while the other was
destroyed.Both pilots are OK.This happened during a Green Flag exercise.A SAR
effort was begun with the following aircraft and frequencies;

BOAR 2 A-10 57WG orbiting crash site
RESCUE 8 HH-60 66RQS to pick up survivor
RAMBO 2xF-15C 57WG launched to relieve BOAR 2 and provide info back to base

282.8 CSAR
259.0 JOLLY Ops 66RQS
377.8 "Blackjack' w/w RAMBO
303.2 'Bullseye' SOF

Haven't seen anything about this in the paper yet,but has been reported on
the radio.
