Pilot killed as Indian military jets collide in air show rehearsal
Bangalore: Two Indian Air Force jets practising for an aerobatic display collided in midair Tuesday killing one of the pilots, officials said.
Witnesses told how the aircraft spiralled out of control after hitting each other and crashed near a residential area outside the Yelahanka air base in the southern city of Bangalore.
A huge fireball rose into the sky, they added.
Only one civilian was hurt by flying debris however while two pilots who parachuted to safety also suffered injuries, officials said.
"One pilot died of fatal injuries and two other pilots ejected out of the two Hawk advanced jet trainers after they collided midair and crashed," said an Indian Air Force statement.
An official investigation was immediately launched.
The two jets were to take part in a display by the Surya Kiran acrobatic display team on the first day of the Aero India show in Bangalore on Wednesday.
Tuesday´s accident is the second deadly crash in the region this month. The Indian Air Force has suffered regular crashes in recent years as it upgrades its ageing Soviet-era fleet.
Two pilots were killed after their jet crashed near Bangalore on February 1.

Yep. One Wing Cmdr dead, one with fractured femurs and the third with smaller injuries.
Pretty nasty start for the IAF this year. 5 crashes in two months. Hope they keep it up
