Happened in 1982. Two J35F Draken collided during air combat training in the dark. One became inoperable and the pilot ejected safely. The other one was flown back to the base despite some pretty noticeable damage.

Sure, he had a bit of vibration, but he only had 6/8 power available.

The image caption translates to something like "it was a bit difficult to land"...
