F7PG,Mirage are flying coffins. Better retire them asap. Pilots life are more precious than a metal junk.
Good to know Pilot is safe.

F-7pg were inducted in 2002, they are relatively new as compared to the Mirages & original F-7ps which are serving since 80s. F-7pg has long life to serve the PAF and Its crash rate is very low as compared to F-7p.
Only 2 or 3 a/c are crashed till date.

Indeed, it's a relief that F/L Yasir Akram ejected safely without any injury.

AlhamdoLillah pilot is safe. Agreed with @DANGER-ZONE that these are relatively newer than F-Ps.

The F-7PGs are J-7s with modified delta wings that gives them enhanced maneuverability. Inducted in 2002. The more widely accepted estimates suggest that we acquired 48 F-7PGs and 9 FT-7PG. Out of which we have lost 6 planes ... 4 or 5 F-7PGs and 1 or 2 FT-7PG. They are being operated from SQDs 17,20,23. Where SQDs 17(Tigers) and 23(Talons) operate out of Samungli airbase. SQD 20 (Cheetahs) operate out of Rafiqui.

So in 13 years losing 6 planes hardly qualifies them as flying coffins ... especially when 2 of those were lost in mid air collision in a single unfortunate incident in which (apparently) the air crafts did not malfunction.

PAF training aircraft crashes near Mastung

• Islamabad

26 MINS AGO BY INP

An F-7 training aircraft of the Pakistan Airforce (PAF) on Wednesday crashed near Mastung area of Balochistan province, pilot remained unhurt.

According to PAF spokesperson, the F-7 aircraft was on regular training flight when it crashed and no loss of life took place because of the accident, as the pilot was able to safely evacuate from the aircraft, which was destroyed from the crash.

The PAF spokesman said that an inquiry board has been formed to find out the reasons for the accident.

yr waise jitnay be incident hote hai

kisi ki be incident ki report nai ati

The F-7 has served PAF well for two decades and in due course would be replaced by the JF-17.
The main and irreplaceable assets are the pilots.

This is not Mirage or F-7P but the newer F-7PG.

 

[Preacher]

Hopefully PAF will replace the F7s and Mirages with JF-17s according to Air Marshall (R) Mirza Zafar on the last
Mirage Trainer jet crash in March.


"Eventually Mirages would be retired and replaced by JF17s. PAF ac are maintained according to highest practises of maintenance. I believe last November mirage accident was mechanical problem and pilots wanted to save the aircraft at all costs against clear cut instructions to eject at 2000 AGL. It is generally the urge to save ac that leads to fatal accidents. There are many glorious examples where to avoid populated area pilot delayed ejection and got killed. This Mirage accident it is too early to comment. It could be human factor or weather or mechanical malfunction. Best is to wait for Inquiry Report. Our senior commanders lead from the front and hence fly a lot."

P.S: this is an old statement about Mirage Trainer jet crash.

ALHUMDULILLAH Pilot is safe and sound. MODP and PAC should operate Thunder program on optimum level as to replace all F-7Ps, F-7PGs and Non Rose Mirages at earliest.

But this jet which crashed was F-7PG. f-7P will be retired but F-7PG will remain in service for some more time

F-7P will be replaced soon but not F-7PG.

F7 -PG have severed more then their capability, PAC have to deliver fast so our brilliant fighter pilots can have better machines.
