PTI's sources said that fire tenders were rushed to the runaway to ensure that the aircraft did not catch fire. "The tyres of the jet were badly burnt due to the emergency landing but timely action saved the plane," they added.

This plane is older than my grandfather.

Rafale is coming to replace Mig 21 and Mig 27

Routine emergency where tires got burst at landing may be due to jamming of brake rotors or malfunction of anti skid system. There is no other reason for tire burst except for hard landing. Ridiculous reporting.

The pilot had to eject so the aircraft must have crashed afterwards.

MIG-21 overshoots runway, pilot safe, operations at Srinagar airport halted for sometime, resumed

The flight operations at the Srinagar International Airport were stopped for some time after an army plane overshot its runaway while landing at Srinagar. The pilot of the MIG plane has ejected safely.

On Tuesday, a MIG-21 fighter jet of army overshot its runway at Srinagar forcing the Airport Authority of India (AII) to close down the airport for operations for some time. “The operations have been resumed now,” an official of the AII told The Indian Express. “This incident had happened in the army area”.

Sources say the pilot of the MIG-21 has ejected safely.

The Technical airport run by the Air force is adjacent to the Srinagar airport used for the passenger flights.

Indian Express has gone mad......When did army started operating Mig........ May be the hang over of uri......... Original article says, there was no fire, no ejection, only a tyre bust due to emergency landing....By the way good news considering that it was Mig 21....

There are conflicting reports.

Emergency landing doesn't require Pilot ejection.
But however Pilot ejection does point towards crash landing.

Will have to wait for official confirmation.

Good Day!

Ejection not necessary means it cash. It is usually SOP depending on the situation

UAE F-16 veers off runway at Sigonella

April 27, 2011 (by Asif Shamim) - A block 60 F-16 belonging to the UAEAF veered off the runway after landing at Sigonella Air Base on Wednesday at 11:35h local time. The pilot ejected safely.




The F-16 which was being transferred from Decimomannu, Sardinia was "involved in an incident upon landing" on the outbound runway at Sigonella Naval Air Station in Sicily, aNATO statement said.

The statement also added "The pilot ejected safely and his condition is currently being assessed,". It gave no other details.

The pilot landed the aircraft on the runway, but the jet was still moving too fast as it approached the threshold at the end of flight line when he decided to eject, official's said.

Both of Sigonella runways were closed as of Wednesday afternoon while they were inspected, but both were expected to be opened later in the day, according to NATO.

The UAE, which is not a member of NATO, deployed 12 fighter jets to Decimomannu including six F-16 Block 60s and six Mirages 2000-9s for the enforcement of a no-fly zone over Libya (Operation Unified Protector, formally known as Operation Odyssey Dawn) mandated by the United Nations Security Council.

In the first place it was making an emergency landing, during which it burst tyres and overshot the runway so obviously pilot would eject as the plane went out of control.

Oho.

Pilot to kheriat say hay na? Chot to nahi lagi?

There was no ejection.Earlier reports were erroneous.Media assumed the initial report that pilot was evacuated meant he ejected.
As smoke came out of the burning tyres, the pilot was evacuated by the emergency team which soon responded to the scene.
Two fire engines were used to prevent any possible blaze.
