MiG crashes in Rajasthan, pilot killed
NEW DELHI JUNE 4 . Another MiG fighter of the Indian Air Force crashed this morning shortly after take-off from the Uttarlai air base in Rajasthan killing the pilot. The crash occurred at a time when a team from its original manufacturer is studying the facilities at the HAL-owned factory at Nasik.
IAF sources here said the fighter caught fire shortly after take-off and plunged into a nearby field killing the pilot, A.S. Jamwal. This is the sixth military aircraft to crash this year. Contrary to the general impression, it is the first MiG-21 of Type 75 to crash this year. The other planes that went down this year included a Jaguar, a Chetak helicopter and a MiG-23.
Last year, 25 fighter crashes were reported. Of them 12 were MiG-21 variants. These variants account for almost half of the total fighter fleet and undertake the maximum number of sorties every month.
Oh no, IAF loses another MiG.

New Delhi: An Indian Air Force MiG-23 fighter went down Monday after the pilot was forced to eject in mid-air due to a technical snag in Punjab, an air force spokesman said. The pilot was safe, he said.
The Russian-made aircraft was returning from a sortie when a technical problem was noticed in its undercarriage near Punjab’s Ludhiana district.
“It was a planned ejection in a designated safe area. It cannot be termed as a crash,” the spokesman said.
The Indian Air Force, the world’s fourth largest, has been plagued by mishaps mostly involving its ageing fleet of Russian-made MiGs.
Official figures show at least 221 MiGs, worth tens of millions of dollars, were lost in crashes between 1991 and 2000, killing about 100 pilots.
Oh no, not another one.

Hey quit beatin' on the Indian pilots, some people were just not meant to fly. Did you know that 1/3 of Indians live without access to clean aerodynamics, whereas gravity is in plentiful supply.

thap its comments like these that make me wish i was a woman by ur side :)
But it s understandable actully, they all are using out dated stuff. :o
Jaguar: some where in the beginning of the 1970 's
Mig 27: some where in the beginning of the 1970 's
These things are just bad quality trainers :o both have almost the same design and aerodynamics :).
And the problem is maintanance, it s darn expensive to maintain and upgrade these model planes 
waise sad for the people who died.

“The Sea Harrier was on a routine sortie from the aircraft carrier INS Viraat and on the final approach to the carrier it developed some snag,” said Navy spokesman Commander Vinay Garg.
“The pilot ejected safely.”
Garg said the navy was investigating the crash. The aircraft was inducted into the force in 1983. The navy has about 20 such aircraft.
India, which has the worlds’ fourth largest air force, has been criticised for its poor safety record. Defence officials estimate at least 170 MiG aircraft – the mainstay of the force – have crashed in the past decade.
