TuAF F-4 Pilot hits part of a mosque.

This is from years back but the video seems to have surfaced now. Was on the news today. This was during parade practice.

How did the jet keep flying even after hitting the mosque ??

Pilot was looking at the other jets trying to stay in formation didnt recognize the minaret

Later that day army sent a gold minaret part to fix the damage

It is a F-4 they don't break .

Seriously though the tip broke off the mosque the F-4 seems to have not taken damage. What is somewhat interesting to know is Erdogan's house is walking distance from that mosque.

I had a feeling someone was going to say this even before i posted it.

She was a female.....The female voice on the radio is pilot right ?

Yes it was a Female. That has zero implications on what happened though. I hope you agree. They were doing formation flying at low altitudes. Those Minarets came out of nowhere.

Most of the talking was her and the RIO in the back i think. They are adjusting their heading 3 degrees right. Talking about the formation the officer told her to count down the distance to something(didn't catch it i think it was the parade distance for the fly over) . When she got to 2.5 miles she hit the mosque. Master caution light seems to have gone up so i am guessing the F-4 did took damage. RIO then said Arm 3 (callsign) was breaking off. She asked him what lights were on in the caution list. That is what i got from it.

Oh the formation was also 3 aircraft. All F-4E 2020 Terminators.

She was sending PM Erdogan a message. He prays at that same Mosque.
