Yaar, this is about 4th thread on this crash.
Yes indeed, over 20 years of incident free service and reportedly this was a bird strike.

K-8s are impressively safe then. If it is bird hit then there is not much a pilot can do.

I would say that's an impeccable safety record for a single engine training jet. The amazing thing is that during an earlier Pakistan Day Parade, PAF had enough confidence in this jet to perform Tail slide right above the capital. And yes there's not much left for pilot to do after a bird strike, thank God both the pilots are safe for it's known that Bird strike can knock them out.
