A couple of theories were doing the rounds about that crash.
One was that the JFT was going at very high speed and it disintegrated at low altitude, but disintegration doesn't really give you a concentrated area of impact, the silhouette was still distinguishable at the crash site.
Bird strike was another cause discussed and it seems plausible. Maybe the pilot glided his plane into that area after the bird strike.
BUt I agree with the general opinion that something is proving to be a hitch nowadays with the JFT program...money, diplomacy or something. All we can do is wait and watch!
I think the correct description may turn out to be this: PAF bit off more than it could chew.
