Remark

Photographer

526 I didn't see the collision; the mirror of the SLR was up. Probably the most photographed mid-air collision. Luckily only the pilots' pride was hurt, no other damage (other than the aircraft of course).

A visitor from United States posted Mon October 4, 2010: One of the engines seems to be on fire, but looks like the afterburner's lit up. The other's flamed out. So fragile, these fighting machines.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon October 4, 2010: I was there and must have been stood almost next to you!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon October 4, 2010: Perfect timing.. I was there at the time and both pilots ejected and landed safely. The first lit up a cigarette just after landing and his colleague wandered over and thumped him, thus apportioning blame for the incident
A visitor from Croatia posted Wed September 29, 2010: I agree with visitor from USA. Maybe next time, because we are still remaining two mig-21's :)
A visitor from Sweden posted Wed September 29, 2010: Aircraft seem to break up when you get close to them Fred ;) Great photo, bet you were more than thrilled that you managed to catch the impact! Johnny Kristensen
A visitor from Israel posted Tue September 28, 2010: Epic capture of an extremely rare and known moment in aviation history.
A visitor from United States posted Tue September 28, 2010: Absolutely epic... too bad there are no images from similar crash in Croatia, involving two MIG-21's.
A visitor from United States posted Tue September 28, 2010: The capture is amazing and classic. Well done.
