The crash killed both pilots, M a j . Michael Hynes, 33, of Latham, N.Y., and Capt. Daniel Daughtery, 29, of Philadelphia. Two radar intercept officers who were riding in tandem seats in each jet parachuted from the planes but were injured. They were identified as Maj. John Cummings, 41, of Walton County, Fla., and Lt. Jeffrey Ulatowski, 24, of Milwaukee. Cummings was under observation Tuesday at the Marine Corps Air Station infirmary. Ulatowski was being treated at the San Diego Naval Hospital. Both men were reported in good condition. The two planes were part of a three-jet team circling the air station here in preparation for a landing.
