Notify PAF Aircraft Crashes

[Jango]

A mirage from number 7 sqn was involved in a premature ejection. Pilots name SL SHABIR SHAHEED. The seat ejected while performing ground checks under the shed and the pilot ramped up into the roof.

A tragic and unfortunate accident. MAy the departed soul rest is peace. I donot wish to spaculate on the circumstances, yet there are various procedures and precautions to avoid inadvertent firing of ejection seat on ground.

A fighter pilot is in fact sitting on top of a powerful rocket which though is a life saver can be lethal in case of an accident. A few weeks back a RAF pilot was killed when the ejection seat, of a BAe Hawk aircraft of Red Arrows display team fired inadvertently while the aircraft was about to taxi from the tarmac.

That list is incomplete, with the period December 1971 to October 1976 missing at least two entries.

Mike:

These two:

Sqdn Ldr Hassan Akhtar, 9 August 1974, F-6 crash a few miles outside Sargodha AFB, ?flameout at high AoA.

Sqdn Ldr. Hasnat, first week of September 1976(?), F-6 crash at Sargodha AFB, during acrobatics.

I was fairly young at that time but thses should be enough details to get more information.

VCheng.

Since all of them have the F-16s patches, either on the Red Flag exercises or some other international exercise or the Blk-52 guys on training.

You guys are unbelievable.

Did you watch Pak news channels to ascertain that no news of this incident happened ??

There was no crash, it was by mistake or due to technical malfunction seat ejection while the aircraft was parked in its hanger and the pilot who was in the seat died when the ejected seat hit the roof of the hangar.

And it was reported in the media very well.
