PAF aircraft crashes near Bhakkar, no loss of life reported

Not again…!

This was sad news two days ago…Thankfully the pilot Wing Commander Faisal ejected and remained safe. But this is the 5th Mirage (i think) down this year. The reason may be weather; the last one that crashed in the same region roughly, near Jhang if i recall right, was before Ramadan and the pilot, also a Wg Cdr like this one; someone with countless hours on the aircraft and much experience, had not survived.

I hope the PAF is taking this seriously, it’s nothing with the pilots or the aircraft as such. Some minor details need to be looked into I guess.

great!now we should buy more hand-me-downs from belgium, SA or Chile ....or whereever they are still in service .....i hope in our lifetimes we see them phased out of PAF
