Royal Navy Hawk narrowly misses paragliders
  • 5 years ago
This is the moment paragliders had a close call when a military fighter jet flew through them - missing them by ''metres". The Royal Navy Hawk T1 was on a practice bombing run at a nearby military range and travelling at 345mph when he flew between four paragliders. The near-miss of just 20m was blamed on a "non-sighting" by the Hawk pilot, who left at least one of the paragliders "shaken". A report into the incident revealed the pilot "was operating under an extremely high workload in a very small danger area".
