Salamander67 0 Posted October 24, 2008 Being in the service is always a risk, however, losing good men in times of peace always feels unnessecary. RIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAKO69 186 Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) Looks like a magister, its a safe plane, but I am sure its old. Thoughts and prayers for the family and service members involved. Edited October 24, 2008 by MAKO69 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thoughts and prayers for the family and service members involved. yes it is... but with a lot of improvements over the years the names of the pilots were already released.. the cadet was promoted to 2Lt. the inctructor is a Captain with combat flying experience (i think i heard it was on an F-16) the invastigation already began but they think it's was a pilot error Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAKO69 186 Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) Just surprised to see they still fly that plane, I am sure they are maintained well. Think they would upgrade to a Hawk or something similar. Nesher is there talk of trans to another aircraft? Edited October 24, 2008 by MAKO69 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
