- A Lightning II fighter jet collided with a KC-767 aerial tanker during refueling. Pilot error was found to be the cause, when the pilot jerked the stick during the delicate approach, causing the refueling boom to stab the middle hover fan. The Lightning II crash-landed on a nearby airbase in Atlas, skidding over a hundred feet before stopping. The pilot was slightly injured, while the jet will have to have its hover fan rebuilt and engine repaired due to debris. The KC-767 returned to base safely. This incident was dismissed as simple inexperience.
