[DAWN] A Pakistain Air Force (PAF) trainer aircraft crashed on Wednesday while on a routine training mission near Takht Bhai in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's Mardan district, the PAF said in a statement.A spokesperson for the PAF added that the pilot ejected safely before the crash "A board of inquiry has been ordered by Air Headquarters to determine the cause of [the] accident," the blurb said. This is the third PAF training aircraft to have crashed while on a routine training mission in less than two months. If they crash so often, it's good the pilots have crash training Last Friday, a PAF Mirage aircraft, which was on a routine operational training mission, had crashed near the Lahore-Multan ...Home of the Multan Sultans...Motorway. The pilot had managed to eject safely in that incident as well. Earlier in January, a PAF aircraft had crashed while on a training mission near Mianwali. Both pilots, Squadron Leader Haris bin Khalid and Flying Officer Ibaadur Rehman, aboard the PAF FT-7 aircraft had bit the dust in the crash. | |
