F-16 crashed in the USA

6 September 2017 44

In the US, the F-16 fighter crashed. According to the latest data, the plane, which belonged to the US National Guard, crashed in Arizona approximately 30 km from the city of Safford (southeast of the state). A search and rescue operation has begun in the area of the crash. On the fate of the pilot at the moment there is no accurate information.

F-16 was part of the National Guard under 162 Squadron, the base of which is located in the territory of Arizona. In the American media, it is noted that we are talking about the training unit, in which cadets and retraining officers of the aviation division of the US National Guard are undergoing the necessary flight training.

According to some reports, the plane took off from the Tucson airfield - there is also an international airport. The crash happened around 3: 30 local time.

A special commission of the National Guard is formed, which investigates the causes of the crash of the fighter.

For reference: F-16 aircraft are in service not only with the United States, but also with the Air Force of dozens of countries around the world, including Turkey, the Republic of Korea, Bahrain, Israel, Singapore, Pakistan, Morocco, Poland, etc.

  The main thing is for the pilot to survive, and so everything is shitty with them and the IRMA will come soon.

        Yes, he is, so to speak, not an enemy. But not a friend. If alive, very good.

        I don’t know about you, but I think the pilot is also a weapon. Moreover, weapons prepared, imprisoned against us. A pilot is a piece of goods, its preparation flies into a good penny, and if Amers have minus one, then this means that if something happens, fewer bombs and missiles will fly onto our heads.

        To rejoice in the loss of life is somehow wrong. I understand that if Irma would land ashore and destroy the underwater and surface fleet of SGA (without human casualties), I would risk a liver then :).

        He probably killed more than one. No need to rejoice. May those who have suffered from them rejoice.

        No one is happy about the death of the pilot! Nothing is known about him at all ...
        And the loss of a US plane is a buzz !!!
        I think that there will be no dissent ...

        It matters that he is a servant of the enemy state, the hegemon of evil, the main organizer of terrorist gangs. Terrorist attacks around the world and on its territory, I mean not only twin towers.
        I am glad that the potential enemy has one pepelats less.

    They all have F-16s as part of the National Guard Guard aviation as ancient as a mammoth tusk .. :))) They are already 30 years old .. Well, at least 28 is for sure. So no wonder ...

  You should not be so in vain, to yourself? Moreover, the fate of the pilot is not yet clear, although the Americans are ejected with any sneeze - most likely alive.

Cool Yankees found an option to reduce their fleet Then you need to set the pace - at least five planes per day !!! They can bomb their own airdromes, for example, conduct real air battles, one air regiment against another ..

It happens. Everything that flies tends to land. Sometimes - in addition to the will of the flyer.

A rare case for the F-16 and not an indicator of whether it is bad, or good. Letunov feel sorry - this is their work, maybe they managed to eject and somewhere in the desert, God forbid.

    If I understand you correctly (without jokes, this is a serious matter), there is training and retraining. Could the student manage (boy). If you do not understand it, then decrypt it. I do not know badly the training of flyers. (I am not a flyer and officers and cadets are familiar to me.

  I understand you, the enemy must lie face in the ground and emotions to hell. But then something in the soul is wrong. The characters and souls are different, and so what these guys would have decided something in the war. At heart, as you have - the devil says - to water everyone, down to geeks. Then lets go.

Well, our planes are beating, what to discuss here. They wouldn’t fight if they didn’t fly. And so - it is difficult to avoid such incidents, there is always a chance of a pilot's failure or mistakes. And gloating about this is also not worth it.

    They will become an adversary - years will begin to fight over our territory. As long as they like to say GDP "partners" ... And when their planes are fighting over their territory - it means someone died while doing their job. And while this happens - it’s not worth gloating. Remember what howl the various earcaps raised when our passenger plane blew up? Do not be like such entities ....
    Sincerely.
    Good luck to you.

      I do not agree. The Macingon macaques at all angles call us a threat and make plans to destroy us, set up “progressive humanity” against us, even the country of fighting kangaroos considers Russia a threat.
      The USA is the hegemon of evil, the adversary of all mankind.

        And who argues with this? But is it worth the simple flyer of the deceased performing his work OVER THE TERRITORY of his country? He didn’t die in Iraq and not in Syria .... It’s not right.

July 11, 1950 a bomber of naval aviation of the Black Sea Fleet crashed in the Crimean Mountains. The crew of four was my uncle. As my father told me for the family, it was a terrible tragedy. The grave of pilots in the Guards later demolished. For several years now I’ve been trying to learn at least something about this tragedy - where it happened and why, but there are only unsubscribes from the archives. Was even in the museum in the Guards. Those who rejoice in the death of the pilots consider kami.
