Mid-air collision Fallon NAS today
...and by sheer coincidence I saw the whole thing above Middlegate on the way home from eastern Nevada. I was the 3rd party to reach the 2 ejected airmen, nobody saw a 3rd chute. The guys were OK, I gave them some Gatorade and stayed until the ground units arrived. Unlike the crowd on the edge of the road, I did not find post-crash photos appropriate, and I was too busy during the action to take any.
Pretty amazing scene, and sad.
