Police and emergency services rushed to the scene on Langrick Road in Lincolnshire just before 1.20pm, after the aircraft crashed during a Battle of Britain commemoration event.
Group captain Robbie Lees, Commander Display Air Wing, said: “It is with great sorrow that I must confirm the death of Squadron Leader Mark Long.
“Mark was a Typhoon pilot here at RAF Coningsby and for the last four years he has been a pilot with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. A great friend, colleague and a passionate, professional aviator, he will be sorely missed by all that knew him.
