They havent reported whether is it a PT6 or T37.

Cheap and easily replaceable. However, it might hinder the training of the pilots

I thought BDAF gave its plane to IAF pilot so it crashed.

The pilot Flight Lieutenant Muntasin ejected safely. Appears this was an A-5.

yeah saw it on tv. A ground camouflage painted A-5.. Looks like the engine caught fire......

 

[Avisheik]

I hope that the government reconsiders the A5 in our air force and buy new warplanes. I know this is only one off incident and could have happened to any aircraft, however, A5 planes are getting really old and is becoming a hazard to the pilots flying them

A report published few years back we have upgrade our A-5 f-6 just to suck some money by the contractor(saeed eskender was involved if i am not wrong ) . we really need to replace all our f-6 a-5 on emergency basis

Well, the pilot didn't use ejection seat. He just jumped off from the running plane after touching down runway.... Thats a bit uncommon....

Well, the pilot didn't use election seat. He just jumped off from the running plane after touching down runway.... Thats a bit uncommon....

So you expect him to use ejection button after touching down?? That would be more uncommon and he could get hurt without the parachuit. Its good that he brought the palne down.

Really? I saw the news report, that the pilot used parachute. I think we have to wait for a while before the details of the incident can come out
