Indian Air Force Hawk Crashes
NEW DELHI: IAF lost one of its newly inducted British Hawk AJTs (advanced jet trainers) on Tuesday afternoon when
it crashed soon after taking off from the Bidar airbase in Karnataka.
"Barely seconds after liftoff, there was apparently some technical snag. One pilot ejected, while the other came down with the aircraft. Fortunately, none of them was seriously injured," said an official.
Riding the aircraft down must have been scary. Glad they're both ok. Aircraft has been written off, fleet grounded.
