It hit a tree. U can see the tree in the first frame.

 

[CT-9914 "Snoop"]

the exit from the loop/split-s whatever it was, was very fast even to an untrained eye, that combined with the low altitude of the maneuver and the fact that Shakarparian is a hill would've left a very very small amount of time and distance for any decision and from the videos it seems he chose to pull up but again the aircraft was too fast and no lift could've been generated in that small amount of altitude. The aircraft was being pushed to its limit hence the massive amount of vapour seen in the cctv footage, unfortunately too much went wrong. We lost our best today, least we can do is remember him in our prayers.

Nose breaks off the airframe ? But in the rest of the frames, cockpit seems intact

Nose cones are detachable parts, they can come off easily upon impact

@The Eagle BTW who performed on 27 Feb in Karachi ? And how good is he regarded in PAF ? Like WC Noman won the trophy last year, quite famous and respected even by Alan warnes

Reason : The aggressive maneuvering might be due to a sort of personal competition between the pilots to perform better than the other, the pilot who performed in Karachi did pull out some aggressive maneuvers and it was one of the best performance of F-16 i have ever seen. Might be that WC Noman wanted to perform even better on 23 March ?

Look at the nose and canopy completely intact while the rear fuselage is on fire.

Bird hit in the end ? Because the engine is on fire even before the impact...

Not nose cones, i am also referring to frontal fuselage... They are intact after the tree hit

That's due to impact with the transmission lines. A white splash can be seen in the begining.

He's pretty good. OC No.19 sqn. One of the first Block 52+ pilots back in the day.
