RIP: 2 US warplanes crash off Japan; 2 rescued, 5 missing |5 remaining Marines from aviation mishap declared dead, search ends
A Marine refueling plane and a fighter jet crashed into the Pacific Ocean off Japan’s southwestern coast after a midair collision early Thursday, and rescuers found one of the seven crew members in stable condition while searching for the others, officials said.

The U.S. Marine Corps said that the 2 a.m. crash involved an F/A-18 fighter jet and a KC-130 refueling aircraft during regular training after the planes took off from their base in Iwakuni, near Hiroshima in western Japan.

The crash took place 320 kilometers (200 miles) off the coast.
two crew members were in the F/A-18, and five others in the KC-130. they collided and crashed into the sea

How did the F/A-18 fighter jet hit the KC-130?

Were they drunk or what?

Was the F/A-18 a one-seater or a two-seater version?

During nighttime refueling. I believe they rescued the f18 crew. I'm not sure how quickly crew can exit a c130 during a free fall if at all.

Two-seater. Thanks.

I will have to look on specialized websites.

I was given a cute little golden pin by a F/A-18 test pilot after I congratulated him for his flying display at a professional air show some years ago.

I am keeping it like a treasure along with many other aviation gifts.

Wish he could have taken me for a short ride with loops and spins and vertical stunts!

I knew my buddy David C. would have it on his website.

Reports: C-130 And F/A-18 Involved In A Mishap During Aerial Refueling Off Iwakuni, Japan. Seven Missing.
...
The F/A-18 Hornet is a one or two-seat multi-role, twin engine tactical jet aircraft and the C-130 and its many versions including the U.S. Marine KC-130 aerial refueling variant is a large, four-engine turboprop used for numerous cargo, support and special missions by every branch of the U.S. military.

I had also received a C-130J keyring and lanyard. I sent them to a friend in Siberia. He works at the Omsk airport ATC tower.

I send him stuff every now and then. They don't get so much over there. Need to be generous with those who have less.

Shit happens. Mid air refuel is tricky, dangerous and not all pilots can do it.

Usually the trailing aircraft is most at risk.

For both aircraft to go down, I think a fatal error occurred mechanically with the C130.

Kc135 are better imho.

5 missing Marines declared dead in warplanes crash off Japan

The U.S. military has declared five missing crew members dead after their refueling plane collided with a fighter jet last week off Japan’s southern coast, and halted search and recovery operations.
