Europe : French fighter jets collide, one pilot missing
 
BY : Reuters

Two French fighter jets collided off the coast of Brittany on Wednesday and one of the two pilots was found while the other was being searched for, the Defence Ministry said.

The two Super-Etendard jets, made by Dassault Aviation (AVMD.PA: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), crashed during a training exercise at around 5:10 p.m. (1510 GMT) 27 km (17 miles) north of the town of Morlaix, on the French region's northern coast, the French Navy said in a statement.

A spokeswoman for the Defence Ministry said the planes collided during the exercise.

One pilot was able to eject and was recovered "apparently in good health" by a search team, but the second was missing late on Wednesday, the Navy's statement said. (Reporting by Gerard Bon and Francois Murphy; editing by Elizabeth Piper)
