The Coast Guard is searching the Gulf of Mexico this evening for two Eglin Air Force Base F-15 C Eagle jets which reportedly collided and crashed into the Gulf 34 and a half miles south of Tyndall.
The two planes assigned to the 33rd Fighter Wing collided and went down at 1:50 this afternoon in military air space which is used by the Air Force for training.
The Coast Guard is using cutters from Panama City, fixed wing aircraft and helicopters from Mobile and Clearwater to search the impact area to locate the survivors or debris.
The planes were on a routine training mission when they collided. The Air Foce says both pilots have been picked up by rescuers late this afternoon. Their conditions were not immediately released.
