Notify PAF Aircraft Crashes

The plane looks like crashed on the hill side...
This must have been a factor towards the Unfortunate death of the pilot...
It may be that after he eject,there was not enough height for the parachute to open,as the ground rose ..
just an speculation

The jet looks to be lying on it's back, parachute not deploying could be down to several factors....altitude, angle of ejection or a just a malfunction in the escape mechanism.
It's worth noting the damage a bird strike can cause to a fast jet engine when the impact is seen on a massive Boeing Power plant.

My deep condolence to the fallen veteran pilot. :cry:

Hopefully they can find out the problem as soon as possible, the sacrifice of a diamond pilot should not be in vain.

Thank you for the kind words brother, all indications are it was a bird strike, that is why the fleet of JFT's has not been grounded or the planned display at the Dubai Air Show been postponed or cancelled. It is just the unfortunate price you have to pay with fast jet aviation.

The pilot seemed to be in some control till the last minute I think. There seems to be no deep craters that plane was found in (speculating since the pic does not tell the entire story) It may have hit at the base and slid up the slope.

I have this uneasy feeling that the pilot thought the situation was recoverable and may be trying to the save the craft till the very end. Whatever it may be, this is a very sad story. RIP Mr. Pilot and my deepest condolences to your family and loved ones.

No. Last minute ejection wont be successful. The pilot knows that too. And even if ejected at last moment, he wouldn't land over 3KM away. The ejection was successful but the chutes failed.

LETS HONOUR THE FALLEN AIR WARRIOR BY OBSERVING 2 MINUTES OF SILENCE STARTING AT 3:40AM APPROX AFTER 3 MINUTES.

yes this is what had happened to this fatefull fighter.... my brother is a ground technician who is stationed at peshawar air base. Haven't heard about the incident untill talked to him in the evening...the reason told to them is that bird was sucked in to the engine which caused the malfunction....pilot reported that to its ground controller few 2nds before crash....and pilot got killed bkz of late exit from the aircraft.... might be because he was struggling to take aircraft out of civilian vicinity..

New Radar Technology Aims to Reduce Bird Strikes

New Radar Technology Aims to Reduce Bird Strikes - YouTube

Bird Strike Radar Intro by DeTect CEO - YouTube

The U.S. Air Force is currently testing bird strike radar systems at four airports and one bombing range. Each radar unit gathers data about a different aspect of bird and aircraft interactions, from individual starlings to flocks of Canada geese around low level bombing runs to high altitude dog fights.

Using the data gathered from these five bird radar units, the USAF wants to develop a handbook, for how pilots and airports can most effectively use bird strike radar.

Bird strike radar is estimated to cost about $300,000 to $500,000 for each unit. Merritt claims that by reducing the number of bird strikes by even 10 percent will pay back the cost of the radar system. DeTect Inc. claims that its radar system can reduce bird strikes by up to 80 percent.

Officials and both DeTect Inc. and the USAF say that bird strike radar can't prevent all bird strikes. Birds are simply too good at flying, able to perform maneuvers and change course much more quickly that any human-controlled aircraft.

"Birds can do a lot of things that we are still learning how to do," said LeBeouf. "They wrote the book on flying, we are just poor students."

RIP



Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!" he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Some one had blunder'd.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.

Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder'd.
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre-stroke
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not,
Not the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.

When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder'd.
Honor the charge they made!
Honor the Light Brigade,

by Alfred Tennyson.
Noble six hundred!
