Its no way negligence. You can call it bad luck and slight miscalculation. The place where is crashed is near the start/edge of Nowshera...which comes directly in the path of runway. Wing-Wing close formations are naturally risky with no chances of error, add the landing case as well and you will get your answer.
The last mid-air collision of PAF aircraft happened in 2002, when two F-7PG collided during Hi-G maneuvering..luckily both ejected.
Hi,
There is nothing common in these two collision----except for carelessness and not following the procedure----.
There were 3 very experienced flyers in these two aircraft----. They did something that was not supposed to be done---they created---or one of the pilots created a scenario that should not have been ---which caused the accident.
I believe it was 1980-----Multan---my house is right next to the airport east sside---on the northern end of the runway---two traine airplanes take off from the air port----one pilot starts horse playing----started flying real close to the tail of the plane in the front---ended up chopping the tail---the plane in the front went head down---fell on a house killed the pilot and the trained----.
The real tragedy in this accident was that the culprit was alive--but the biggest tragedy was---the house it fell on---two girls ofmarriage age---all their dowries were burnt---did they get their money---I don't know----.
But propeller driven plane---colliding in mid air----that is negligence----as someone mentioned a news item here---that one of the planes came from the side to position itself next to the other and thus collided---if that was the observation----then thatmay be the truth----.
Fighter jocks do that kind of stuff---but they don't understand when it fails with other air craft---prop trainers are not as agile and move around a the fighter aircraft.
If there were pure trainees in these aircraft---it would be lack of kknowledge----with these senior pilots in their---there was 'horse play' involved----.
As usual----it will be brushed under the rug.
