I agree, this is the most excited I had been to see the thunder since the days of its first taxi runs. We really seemed to have learned how to market it better and all the news of weapons integration gave the aircraft the kind of edge that was only seen as potential in the last few airshows. The crash is just depressing, especially in it's timing. Aviation is a risky business, so crashes will happen...but right as we're trying to showcase the aircraft...terrible.

Crashing of JF 17 will have zero effect on it's marketing and on it's customer.

It is the death of the pilot which is very very sad.We are using the same ejection seat as that in F35 i.e Martin Baker and it failed.

Sorry, should have mentioned it...I agree with that. I was just saying that we have been so focused on the jf-17 the last few days that it's affect is magnified.

this forum gets the most hits, eventhough i wasnt feeling like posting, we should provide as much positive exposure to jft as possible -- the pilots are still performing eventhough they knew the pilot shaheed at a personal level--SO do your part and find pictures for publicity

Will JF-17 be grounded to evaluate if it doesn't got any technical fault

Very well said friend.

I think JF-17 Thunder already have very good fan base and it is already getting good coverage in the media. I hope we could also add to that.
