Notify PAF Aircraft Crashes

[fatman17]

This unit had come from US after maintenance and modifications and was on it's test flight to/from Gyari as some media reports say. Possibility are, it maybe equipped for the recovery operation in some way but it didn't quite work out. This was first flight after returning from USA if I am not wrong.

maintenance of Mi-17's done in czeck republic as well as romania. US does finance the overhaul. however 10 Mi-17's were leased by US to PAA but were returned due to poor condition of the helos. 4 were then re-directed to afghan where they are now used for spares. the 6 remaining were never delivered.

this latest incident is not related to the US sponsored/leased helos.

Don't be surprised when, Blk-52 start falling on their first mission.

Flying is a hazardous business accidents can happen.

the latest Mi-17 attrition incident - the cause of the crash was "the pilot tried to crash land the helo after an in-flight engine fire resulting in complete power loss".

Right after take off right?

might have not gained enough altitude so auto-rotation could be ruled out.

Complete loss of power, that must have been a pretty big fire then.

The heli is almost upside down, maybe some engine failure or loss of power. Weather seems clear enough.

There is a Major who is critically injured, maybe one of the crew. lets pray for him that he stays alive.

Major Shoaib has died as 90% of his body was burnt

MAJOR SHOAIB........

The crash took place at Gamba airfield, east of Skardu base. Skardu base is used by PAF, named as Qadri airbase, while the PAA uses Gamba.

The crash took place while landing, the pilot lost control while hovering just before landing (fire is the probable culprit according to people familiar), and Maj Shoaib walked out with minor injuries. 2 crew were trapped inside, and the major went to rescue them. The two crew then survived with minor injuries, while the major suffered 90% burns on his body. He was then shifted to Army Burn centre Kharian, where he breathed his last.

Incredible story of bravery, he saved two lives and gave his own.

PAF lost one of its F-7 Fighter jet during a normal training mission in Attock near Dhok Pathan. Unfortunately Pilot lost his life(Shaheed) too. Though there was loss of ground life. Airheadquarter has already formed an inquiry board to find out the reason of the crash.

We have gotta wait for more latest news to find out who was the pilot, how this incident happen.
But that was really bad for us, especially the loss of a life a pilot. We need JF-17 soon to phase out these old F-7's.

So sad to Liston dat

He was a brave pilot and real Muslim.
