    😀

    can you please provide information of how close the US plane got to china main land or was it patroling above chinese territorial water?

    The EP-3E would have been flying routes and patterns used by U.S. intelligence aircraft for years. These routes will have been flown for decades by different types over the years and would have been well known and routine for PRC forces.

    The EP-3E could legally go all the way up to the 12 nautical mile limit from the coastline. The EP-3E from the following was approximately 70 nautical miles out.

    As I remember, it has to do with the “venturi effect” resulting from strong air current flowing between two close-by flat surfaces. It was speculated that this could be the cause of the accident.

    My question is why didn’t the pilot ejected?

    Probably incapacitated by the collision?

    Hi Jay,
    The Vimy was certainly a heart-stopping moment. Great skills though to veer her away from the crowd.

    It was about this time that I thought of jumping into the Vulcan enclosure if she had come any further across. I had a fence behind me and the crowd barrier in front, but the pilot managed to veer her safely away.

    i am affraid you are wrong.. it was a accidentally mid air collision between the two, later the USN plane crash landed in chinese base and then got smashed into pieces before it was shipped to US.

    Not smashed into pieces. It was dismantled and air-shipped back to the U.S. The aircraft returned to U.S. Navy service.

    Quite possible, isn’t it called pride in the job. Would have been a bit embarrassing when he got shot down and captured though.
    Didn’t the French provide a bit of tactical training with Etendards and Mirages v Harriers out in the Channel, yet had technicians out in Argentina training their Etendard pilots in the use of Exocets during the war.
    Back to the Blackbirds, I thought that all the assistance came from sattelites, where would the Blackbirds have flown from, Ascension, wouldn’t anyone have noticed them parked amongst the Vics and Vulcs, no doubt more than one would have been commited to ops. Perhaps they were painted up in RAF camo and markings and no one noticed.

    The French technicians were withdrawn. France gave all the technical assistance to the UK and provided nothing to Argentina during the conflict.
