Not sure, maybe they just jumped out at the last moment before impact.

The heli landed in a small muddy field straight side up...recovery team is there.

Footage was shown on Geo, I spotted somebody I know as well!!!

Sweizer-500 looks like.

 

[Jango]

The condition of the instructor is serious.

It was a training flight from Rahwali base, the instructor was from Pak Navy on deputation to army while the student was a Captain from Army.

The crash doesn't look to be too serious though...maybe it was a hard impact.

Helicopter was a S-300 as I previously said.

 

[Blackpearl]

this helo is Schwizer 269C or as refered in US Army TH-300C

[Jango]

this helo is Schwizer 269C or as refered in US Army TH-300C

269C is a model, just like Mi-17 V5 or V1 etc, S-300 is the basic name,

The condition of the instructor is serious.

The instructor (naval officer on deputation) has now been shifted to CMH Pindi, received some fractures.

Wish him a speedy recovery.
