Notify PAF Aircraft Crashes

All we have is speculation at this point. Still waiting on confirmation from the proper channels. From a purely visual perspective, the plane looked like it was skimming treetops as seen in the two previously posted videos. So far, no ejection has been seen and I honestly can't blame the pilot given how fast the plane went from hundreds of feet until impact. All signs (at the present moment) point to a loss of a Viper driver, though I pray that he is safe. Incidentally, ths brings the existing fleet of PAF F16s to the low 70s, provided Wikipedia's citations are accurate.

I always feared such crash during live or practice rehearsals. We have been using F16s in public exhibitions far too many times. There was no need for such show over Karachi just last month where F16s were involved. We already have them in very limited number and we can't even replace them with a new one instantly. Very sad for the plane and the pilot. As mentioned above pilot was wing commander, so definately a set back for PAF.
 
Jets can be replaced, pilots are more important.

RIP Sher Afgan!
 
SO PILOT IS SAFE ....No worries.
The evidence we have so far points to the opposite. No ejection was seen but the two videos posted were taken from quite a distance so I sincerely hope the pilot was able to punch out in time. Thus far, we have no confirmation on the pilot's status, so do keep him in your prayers but try not to say stuff without evidence.
 
Can be gloc as well
Could also be a stall due to malfunctioning equipment, or some bird strike, or a collision with some other obstruction not seen in the video. All we can do now is wait for an inquiry. I hope the news of the pilot's shahadat is disproved but the chances of that happening look very small now. Either way, this would be the third or fourth(?) F16 crash for the PAF since its induction. Tragic day for the small group of fighter pilots in Pakistan's military.
 
Pilot attained Shahadat. Speaker national assembly confirmed it

Fatheha was said in national assembly for the pilot
