A Southwest Airlines jet had a rather eventful flight today minutes after taking off from California, leading to injuries.
It would appear that the other aircraft involved in this incident was a 66-year-old Hawker Hunter with the registration code N335AX, flying from El Paso (ELP) to Point Mugu (NTD), which was traveling in the opposite direction. The planes were roughly at the same altitude but weren’t on the same course, so they wouldn’t have collided if they just maintained course, but they were definitely too close for comfort.
Southwest has released the following statement about the incident:
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
