8 in a day?!

But seriously if +30% of Jaguar's have been shunted with a large % of that by "pilot's escaping from machines that are unforgiving to errors in judgement and circumstance in the enviroment they operate in, especially low level." That is a pretty poor reflection on the process.

Either crew were poorly trained for the roles expected of them or the equipment wasn't fit for the roles it was expected to fulfill. Having said that what was the feedback of those testing Jaguar's?? Isn't it part of the role of the test pilot to discover aircraft characteristics before operational pilots do and get into trouble?
