It occurred during a formation landing. One a/c flipped over, both ran off the runway.

Blue skies.

My guess is they touched wingtips.

T-38 is not a forgiving aircraft.

Blue skies and tailwinds brothers.

T-38? Holy smokes, if memory serves that is the aircraft that used to 'chase' the Space Shuttle when it would land? I remember those from the 1980''....same aircraft still in service?

Heh, T38 officially entered service in 1961.
