Notify PAF Aircraft Crashes

[Jango]

Why they collided each other?? Were they shaking hands in a parrallel a plane?? Can't they even see the parallel plane or in front of them ?? Looks like this incident was avoidable..
RIP to the dead

They were flying close formations, and their wings caught eachother.

Eye-witness on one TV channel said that both planes came at an angle, not parallel.

It is rather unfortunate since the student pilots had good instructors with them, one of them was married with wife and kids.
While pilot error cannot be ruled out, it may even be a fault with the aircraft.. since there have been reports of sudden rudder malfunctions with the more aged Mushaks.

Bachelor pilots are known to be a little more carefree and risk takers and get involved in impromptu aerobatics.
but when these same pilots get married, they are extremely cautious and by the book. Both instructors were mature enough to know where to draw the line, so onus of the investigation will focus on the aircraft and the student pilots.

Can't believe how stupid DAWN journalist is - We should bombard them with emails.Mirage was not Chinese and these two did not crash due to technical fault.Likely to be user error as both planes colided.

Remember these basic trainers are light and no bigger than a family saloon, a sudden gust of wind can also deviate their flight path.

I believe one of the student pilot was related to the current Air Directorate A/C Anis Mirza.

May Allah accept their shahadats. According to a blog:

Sqn Ldr Masood, Sqn Ldr Zaigham, Sqn Ldr Moazzam and Flt Lt Mustafa martyred today (May 17, 2012) when two Mushshak training aircraft collided in mid-air and fell on nearby houses in the Risalpur area of Nowshehra.

It's not just DAWN, it's all the journalists community. They are indulging in sensationalism more than the accuracy/authenticity of the report (which is a shame)

The loss of life in the incident is a real shame. May Allah give the family members of the "Shaheeds" patience and perseverence AAMIN.

The unfortunate mid-air collision occurred during landing. Wings of both aircraft collided resulting loss of control of the aircraft. The most sad part is that all the pilots involved were not rookies, they were the future of PAF. Both aircraft belonged to Fighter Instructor School (FIS), which runs a 22 week course on Mushshak and T-37s. God bless the departed souls.Amen.

Landing or On finals?

FIS explains three sqd ldrs.

FIS explains three sqd ldrs.

Most likely on base leg.. that would explain the crash site..
But only the investigation would reveal all the details.
