The Merge-4: Flight Lead and Wingman

The Merge-4: Flight Lead and Wingman

A 2008 mid-air collision between an F/A-18 Hornet and F-5F Tiger II near Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada left one pilot dead, two aircraft destroyed, and dozens of squadron mates, family, and friends changed forever.

This fourth episode of The Merge explores the unbreakable bond between flight lead and wingman, particularly on that fateful day.
