RIYADH: An F-15 fighter jet and a Hawk trainer jet of the Royal Saudi Air Force have crashed separately and the pilot of one is still missing, the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Monday, quoting an official source at the Ministry of Defense.

In the second incident, an aircraft of the Saudi Hawks Team, also on a routine training mission,
was approaching the runway at King Faisal Air Base in the northwestern province of Tabuk when it crashed due to a technical glitch, said another SPA report.

"The source added that the pilot was able to use parachute and survived.

He was taken to the hospital," the report said.
