اِنَّا لِلّٰہِ وَاِنَّآ اِلَیْہِ رَاجِعُوْن
That's a great loss indeed, a very precious countryman lost his life,nation lost a honed aviator and a national assets all in one go.
A very sad day.

Was it a compressor stall at the top end of the curve? Might be a bird-strike.

Imho engine stalled he went to low on speed with high angle manuever

Another video, civilians couldn’t believe at first that it was indeed a crash

It does seem engine stall NOW

Just watch it closely, this is another video from a different angle.

I meant we don't need to perform daredevil moves often be it F16 or Jf17 but if our airforce management is bend on showing off every now and than atleast maintain care in using F16 or use Jf17 only. F16 use for airshows should had been banned long time back keeping their limited numbers in our inventory.

come'on brother, everyone here can see what you meant.

Not very much concerned about F-16. Jets can be purchased right away, not the men who pilot them.

May Allah grant the pilot a high place in Jannah with all other Shuhada.

Time to start planning about f16 replacement. RIP, Paf lost a brave soul. Its about time now that we start thing about replacing old f16s.

It did look like a maneuver, what else does it look like to you? The video shows him completing a turn and then ascending to perform a loop. Upon coming down, the aircraft did not recover sufficiently and crashed.

He was doing a vertical dive . Either his starting height was low or he started the pull out late. The plane seems ok, it pulled out eventually.

That's not a complete loop.He was performing a split S maneuver and I think altitude miscalculation is involved here, either by the pilot or the machine.

Upon performing the maneuver, in the last quarter, engine seemed to stall, and the small turn he achieved later on was purely due to flaps and NOT engine.

Write my words down, Engine issue is in play here, either an issue or pilot error in a sense that he didn’t go up with the required thrust to perform maneuver but this is highly unlikely for Wing Commander and A Trophy winner recently...
