Two Swiss Air Force supersonic demonstration fighters collided with each other during a routine training airshow, causing one to crash-land on Thursday.

According to a report, the Northrop F-5 Tiger was flying in formation with five other members of the Patrouille Suisse team when the jet plummeted toward the ground. The pilot was able to eject and is said to be in good condition considering the circumstances of the crash. He bulldozed through a greenhouse complex on the way down.
