Two Rafale fighter jets have collided in mid-air before crashing to the ground in northeastern France, civil and military authorities said. A search for one of the crews is under way. The two jets were from the Saint-Dizier air base, an air force spokesman in Paris said on Wednesday. One of the pilots ejected himself, he said. But an instructor and a student pilot from the second aircraft were still missing. “We are still looking for the second crew,” the spokesman said.
