Title: RAF 'Vision loss' pilot in guided landing in North Yorkshire
Post by: mhm on February 02, 2016, 08:19:42 AM
An RAF pilot was guided into landing his jet by a colleague in another aircraft after suffering "a partial loss of vision", it has emerged.

The pilot was flying solo during a training flight on Thursday and radioed for assistance while returning to RAF Leeming in North Yorkshire.

The Hawk jet was promptly joined by another aircraft from the same squadron as a wingman to provide guidance.
