HYDERABAD: A Kiran trainer aircraft of the Indian Air Force crashed today in Keesara near Hyderabad. The two-seat trainer was being flown by a flight cadet.

The pilot, believed to have taken off from the Hakimpet Airforce Station, ejected about 2 km from the crash site using a parachute. The pilot is safe, police said.

The incident took place around 11 am after the plane experienced technical glitches, a police officer added.

More details are awaited

Kirans are ancient.

HTT-40 is still at least 2 years away if not more.

We need to seriously focus more on defence aviation. It only captures headlines and that too for wrong reasons.

But nothing materialises.
