ValAstur Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Both pilots safe. IAF speaks of engine malfunction. http://www.timesofisrael.com/air-force-jet-crashes-off-gaza-coast/ Quote
macelena Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 glad to hear they are OK, when i saw the title, i feared they would be lynched Quote
Nesher Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) Yeah, was a small shock to see it on the news today.. not the first Sufa that crashed, hopefully the last!! luckily the pilots ejected and were picked up ASAP and the video of the rescue, released by the IDF Spokesperson's office the article mentions that the IDF's chief of staff was near the scene and asked to accompany the rescue the F-16s and F-15s now grounded due the engine failure that caused the crash Edited July 7, 2013 by Nesher 1 Quote
Nesher Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 yep... but only for trainings, for operational reasons the IAF cannot keep them on the ground Quote
