PAF jet crashes while on training mission near Sargodha


A Pakistan Air Force (PAF) jet crashed near Sargodha while on a training mission on Thursday, a press release issued by PAF said.

"PAF reports with regret that an F7-PG aircraft crashed near Sargodha while on a training mission. Search and rescue operation is in progress," the statement added.

A spokesman for the air force told DawnNews it was being ascertained whether the lone pilot flying the aircraft has survived.

F7-PGs were first inducted in the PAF in 2002 as a replacement for the F-6, which were then decommissioned. The trainer FT-7PGs came later. The PAF had previously operated F-7Ps.

About nine or 10 F7-PGs/FT-7PGs have been lost during their 15 years in service. The PAF has more than 50 of the Chinese-made aircraft in its fleet.

The losses of F7-PGs/FT-7PGs in air crashes are within normal limits, aviation experts claim.

A little over a week ago, a senior PAF officer had embraced martyrdom when his aircraft crashed near Mianwali while on a routine operational flight.

So another one bites the dust. This is serious issue now. PAF has the worst crash rate in the last few years as compared to other Air forces. Just saying that the planes we are crashing are old ones (F7s, mirages) is not the answer. We really should review our daily operations and usage of these planes. I think our maintenance department is doing a very poor job. May be its very generalized statement but looking at the crashes every second week, one has to introspect fast - very fast.

Hoping pilot survived but this sounds no good.

Time to ground them.

Yes its an issue everytime a aircraft crashes, having said that there is no need to hit the panic button as some posters here have.

And as per TV news it is again the F7pg.... pg's are the newer models inducted in 2002 and yet they r falling like any thing... amazing.
Already 10 or so F7-PGs/FT-7PGs have been lost during their 15 years in service. The PAF still has around 50 of those left.
