A pair of F-15C fighter jets collided during a training exercise over the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday, according to Air Force officials.
Two F-15 fighter jets, like the one pictured, collided over the Gulf of Mexico, the Air Force says.
Air Force search and rescue and U.S. Coast Guard crews were searching the Gulf for the pilots Wednesday afternoon. The planes were part of the 33rd Fighter Wing, a combat-flying unit based at Eglin Air Force Base.
The crash happened at about 3 p.m. ET and about 50 miles south of Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City, Florida.
The Pentagon said it was not immediately known how many crew members were missing -- although F-15Cs are single-seat jets.
Man these birds have had a few bad months. My prayers to the pilots.
