Reason disorientation. The a/c was one of the two arrived in late 2005 i.e Serial No. 85729, No.9 Sqn.

One of the factor of spatial disorientation in F16 is its design features which provide unrestricted field of view,because of the large single piece canopy the cockpit lights get strongly reflected off inside the cockpit...keeping it low will make it difficult to read the target information from MFDs.

F16 pilots are instructed to minimise head movements during turns, to reduce the risk of coriollis phenomenon...seat can be adjusted to reduce head movement during radar check.

After GLOC, spatial disorientation is the second big reason of F16 pilot related accidents.

F16A 92730, seen at Sardodha in Dec,2005 moments after delivery to PAF. Note the cargo pod in first picture...also note the 'balti', enough evidence to prove that its Pakistan..LoL
Both 92729/30 were assigned to No.9 Sqn.

Following photo is from Izmir 2011.
