CF-104 pilot Hav. P.E. Hansen of Esk 723, was involved in ACM training with two Danish CF-104s and a Luftwaffe RF-4E Phantom. During the maneuvering, the pilot of R-819 flew through the Phantom’s slipstream and a loud bang was heard resulting in the CF-104 departing controlled flight. The pilot tried to regain control but the a/c did not respond. The pilot ejected safely.
Cause: The horizontal stabilizer broke up when passing through the Phantom’s wake turbulence rendering the CF-104 uncontrollable.
