Two U.S. Navy T-45 Goshawk training aircraft collided in 

mid-air over Texas Monday morning, but fortunately no 

one was seriously injured.The incident occurred over 

Ricardo at about 11 a.m., according to a message posted to 

the Chief of Naval Air Training’s social media accounts.

One Goshawk was able to land safely at Naval Air Station 

Kingsville, Texas, while the other aircraft’s instructor 

and student ejected about nine miles south of the base, 

according to the post.

The instructor pilot was taken to Christus Spohn Hospital 

Kleberg in Kingsville for what the post described as 

minor injuries, according to officials.

The Navy asked the public to “not attempt to move or 

touch any aircraft debris,” and to call 361-516-6303 to 

report the location of debris.
