188732 crashed during a Maple Flag mission while it took part in a mass formation of eight aircraft. The Hornet came down some 30 miles north of CFB Cold Lake (AB) inside the Primrose Air Weapons Range. The pilot was found dead 200 meters from the wreckage and it appeared that he had attempted to eject from the CF-188A prior to colliding with terrain.
