South Korea's air force apologizes after audit blames 2021 F-15K collision on in-flight selfies
South Korea's air force apologized for a 2021 mid-air collision between two F-15K jets near Daegu, a day after the Board of Audit and Inspection released findings. The audit found a wingman pilot made unplanned maneuvers to improve his camera angle while recording a final flight, causing his aircraft's tail to strike the lead jet's wing. The incident caused approximately 880 million won in damage with no injuries, and the wingman pilot was ordered to repay about a tenth of repair costs.
