FT-7P to be exact

aircrafts can be replaced....especially old ones due for retirement

skilled pilots are difficult to replace....


glad they are okay; inquiry should be made as to what kind of tech fault was developed

 

[ice_man]

F7 frames are too old we must retire them asap!!!!

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

F7 frames are too old we must retire them asap!!!!

the ones whose frames are nearing their lives end should indeed be retired asap....but not all our F-7 aircrafts are old (age wise)

That's the second crash involving a PAF female pilot in a similar aircraft.....good job in both incidents the crew managed to eject safely but it must be hard for their families. The PG versions are less than a decade old but the F-7P/TP are getting on a bit.

Interesting.. it seems the PAF is keen on using women pilots as instructors.. or is it?
Since in this case the "assistant" might be a student.
Although in our male dominated society, I am not sure how effective it will be against chauvinist students.

A military funeral was held for Maj. Massoud Hussein Chhachhar, 35, who was killed in a training flight off Turkey's Aegean coast Jun. 16, in the Pakistani city of Lahore today.

Chhachhar was training Turkish pilot Lt. Serkan Sağır on a D-137 plane when it crashed into the Aegean Sea near the western province of İzmir, killing both pilots.

The funeral was attended by Gen. Recep Yüksel of Turkey's Air Training Command, Turkish Ambassador to Islamabad Babür Hızlan, Punjab Provincial Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and ranking officers from the Pakistani air force. Turkish President Abdullah Gül and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan sent laurels to the funeral.

Chhachhar has been training Turkish pilots for the past two years as part of a military cooperation agreement between Turkey and Pakistan. He had the most flight hours among servicemen in his rank and Turkish officials had requested to extend his tour of duty for another year due to "outstanding service," the report said.

Chhachhar's coffin, wrapped in both the Turkish and Pakistani flags, was flown to his home village for burial after the ceremony. He has been married for three years.

Search and rescue teams have spotted the dead body of Turkish Lt. Sağır who died in the crash at around noon today.


ASIA - Pakistani officer laid to rest as Turkish pilot's body found


WHAT A GREAT HERO!!!! REST IN PEACE!

And say not of those who are slain in the Way of God: 'They are dead.' Nay, they are living, Though you perceive it not." (Qur'an 2:154)

Yeah you are right , Pakistan Did Purchase 50 F7PG in yr 2001-02 and they will remain in service till yr 2022-25

Actually Mig 21/27 or F7 A/B/P/PG/BG Have an airframe Life of 20 yrs ,

but barring Russia and China all other operators of these aircraft have been flying them way past there airframe life , the reason being that many countries cannot afford quick replacements , or like in case of India , the govt is far too incompetent to make the decision on replacement

Infact the 450 odd Mig21s inducted by India between 1963-84 , started falling Down in the late 1980s , but instead of deciding upon replacing them , they started the LCA Project in 1980s , and when the situation became critical in 1990s , when even Mig23/27 started falling , they decided to Purchase 50 Su30MKI from Russia and Manufacture another 140 in India under TOT , This was followed by another contract to Purchase 40 MORE MKI in 2007 and 42 more in 2011 for a total fleet of 272 Su30MKI

Albeit, my understanding is that the female pilots are the students but if they have qualified to become instructors, the tough guys will just need to bite their tongue and can perhaps prove their macho abilities in a DACT with their instructors.

BTW, for a minute I thought we have a new MOD.

Another source reported that it was an MFI-17 Mushaq turbo trainer.
