Was the pilot former F-16 pilot or these pilots are different one ?

Unlikely to have been a former fighter pilot. There was a similar incident with a B-52 as well where the pilot attempted a steep banking turn very close to the ground. That pilot had been flagged earlier too for reckless flying.

The pilot was a jackass who killed everybody on board. The brass was warned about him. He was a loose cannon and was reckless and thought he was hot shit. But they let him fly any way. Don't know why.

When an aircraft has better situational awareness than the pilot flying it, then that’s a problem. That pilot is reckless.

In air shows, pilots push their machines to their limits, sometimes exceeding them. Physics is unforgiving; even slight deviations from stall speed or banking angles can cause catastrophic crashes. At low altitudes, errors are fatal.

Wing Commander Namansh Syal made the supreme sacrifice when his indigenous LCA Tejas fighter jet tragically crashed during a high stakes aerial display at the Dubai Air Show. The 34 year old decorated fighter pilot from Himachal Pradesh ran out of altitude while executing a complex low level negative-G manoeuvre, choosing to stay with the aircraft rather than ejecting to prevent casualties on the ground.

32 years ago today - The (in)famous Fairchild B-52 crash June 24 1994: a USAF B-52 crashes in Fairchild AFB (Washington, US). All 4 crew members die. Practicing aerobatics, the bomber stalled at low height. Inquiry noted the pilot´s behavior/personality and his superior’s lack of reaction to earlier incidents, becoming a case study for CRM. The accident occurred as the B-52's pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Arthur "Bud" Holland, maneuvered the bomber beyond its operational limits and lost control. The aircraft stalled, fell to the ground, and exploded, killing Holland and the other three crew aboard. The crash was captured on video and was shown repeatedly on news broadcasts throughout the world. This fatal accident was preceded by several other incidents, including one where the Holland missed a ridge by some 30 ft during a fly-by. A later enquiry focused on military leadership, due to several incidents that preceded the crash, along with CRM – Crew Resource Management. The subsequent investigation concluded that the crash was attributable primarily to three factors: Holland's personality and behavior; USAF leaders' delayed or inadequate reactions to earlier incidents involving Holland, and the sequence of events during the aircraft's final flight. The crash is now used in military and civilian aviation environments as a case study in teaching crew resource management. It is also often used by the U.S. Armed Forces during aviation safety training as an example of the importance of compliance with safety regulations and correcting the behavior of anyone who violates safety procedures. The occurrence is also known as the “Czar 52 crash”, which was the bomber´s callsign. Its registration was 61-0026 and was part of the USAF´s 92nd Bomb Wing ”Czar 52” was the B-52´s callsign.

NOTAM issued for airspace around El Paso starting at 0630 this morning FOR 10 DAYS, which is highly unusual (the pilot here seems to agree). Much of the region is on the southern border and also contains Holloman AFB, White Sands Missile Range (Army), and Ft. Bliss. The official reason given on the FAA's site is "national defense" and is the first time since 9/11 a major American air space has been closed like this for a period this long. Plan accordingly... #CityLife #ElPaso #USAF #mexico #narcos #army #holloman #WhiteSands #FtBliss #NOTAM #TFR #texas #border

Thanks to Simon Jordan for always telling it how it is. As for Ade Oladipo laughing & his "protect yourself at all times", how do these low level pundits even get air time? Illegal shots like that can do some serious damage. Don't talk on matters you know nothing about! I would show highlights of me schooling this fanboy's idol, but for some reason that fight's been hidden away 🤷‍♂️

Some more insight to the callsign SAM47, it refers to the 47th POTUS. Anywhere the POTUS flys, there is at least one backup jet that carries the callsign SAM (Special Air Mission) and then the whatever number the President is shadowing them. For Biden, it was SAM46, for Trump it was SAM45, and for Obama it was SAM44, etc. The POTUS will travel onboard the C-32A (Boeing 757) as well as the VC-25 (Boeing 747). I wanted to share some video of the C-32A picking up Obama in Chicago before the inauguration for a NatGeo special on AF1. It gives you some unique insight into this USAF squadron that is tasked with flying not only the POTUS, but various heads of state and politicians. You’ll see in the video the communications station on the C-32A which is rare to see. This aircraft is capable of a variety of communication abilities from phone calls to connecting the POTUS to the National Command Authority and launching nuclear weapons. There are other aircraft that are involved during POTUS travel and they do a pretty good job of hiding. 😎

VIDEO | Veteran pilot Sharath Panicker reacts to the preliminary AAIB report on Air India AI 171 crash. He says, "the fuel control switches were discovered in the run position. There’s no reason for any pilot to move those switches during the critical phase of flight. At that point, both pilots would have been fully engaged, hands on controls, focused on stabilising the aircraft. The switches would typically only be moved after an engine failure above 400 feet, once the aircraft is stable. Based on the current information, I don’t believe this was a deliberate act by the pilot...” (Full video available on PTI Videos -

The death of the first flying wing On this day in 1948: USAF prototype Northrop YB-49 [42-102368] a flying wing jet bomber, crashes in California (US) all 5 aboard die. The aircraft had a structural failure on a test flight. Enquiry stated that the outer wing sections detached when pulling from a dive, likely after an intentional stall. Despite development work continuing for two more years, the YB-49 project would be canceled in the mid-1950s, in favor of more conventional designs. The flying wing concept only became practical with the advent of computers in the 1980s, with the B-2, whose advanced electronics compensated for the instability of the tailless aircraft. As a memorial to the victims, Forbes AFB and Edwards AFB are named in honor, respectively, of the pilot (Major Daniel Forbes) and copilot (Capt Glen Edwards) who perished in this crash. Video shows a YB-49 in testing – Nakama (YT)

“My daughter was a real hero.” Carol Acevedo, the mother of fallen U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Angel Rampersad, delivered emotional remarks during her daughter's funeral in New York, as loved ones gathered to honor the 28-year-old soldier. Rampersad was one of three U.S. soldiers killed in action on July 17 during an enemy missile attack at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. She served as a 25U Signal Operations Support Specialist with the 1st Battalion, 57th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 52d Air Defense Artillery Brigade, 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command, based in Ansbach, Germany. Rampersad is one of the 18 American military members who have died since the conflict began nearly five months ago, and was remembered Friday for her service and sacrifice.

This was such a close call that all simulations on it resulted in a crash [and would have likely been one of the worst in history had it been so] August 9 1978: Olympic Airways Flight 411, a B-747 with 418 aboard, had a near miss over Athens (Greece). Due to crew actions on takeoff, engine thrust was reduced drastically. The jet lost significant altitude and speed: it flew as low as 153 ft and at a speed of 158 kts before the crew recovered. Boeing inquiry stated the jet lost power after crew mistakenly turned off the engine´s water injection system, reducing thrust, which led to a loss of altitude and speed that put the plane near an irrecoverable stall. To get an idea of how close this came to a major disaster (a 747 loaded with fuel going down in a major city), all of Boeing´s simulations of the scenarios presented in the flight resulted in a crash. Video is an excerpt from an analysis by Mentour Pilot, well worth a check – you can see the full video on the link here

Odd US Air Movement to Moscow - Summary So Far So to summarise, this morning Armchair Admiral 🇬🇧 picked up via ACARS thebaldgeek that C-17A "REACH4555" was flying from Riga, Latvia to Moscow, Russia on a Secretary of Defence (SECDEF) support mission code, and sure enough, it tracked all the way. The previous leg of the journey had been from Andrews AFB (KADW) to Riga, which led to information from Louis David that he had observed a number of diplomatic vehicles and the C-17 parked at Riga earlier, alongside what we later identified as a C-40 which had also flown from Andrews to Riga as "REACH790". Now footage has emerged on Telegram from Moscow showing a US diplomatic convoy travelling with police escort from the direction of the airport. At present, Russia is denying any knowledge of a US aircraft visiting the country, and the US themselves have not commented.

In the early 1970s the USAF ran the A-X competition to find a rugged close air support jet. Northrop's YA-9 squared off against Fairchild's YA-10 in a fly-off at Edwards AFB starting October 1972. Both prototypes flew similar profiles with straight wings and the ability to haul 16,000 pounds of ordnance while surviving low-level runs. The YA-9 hit around 520 mph top speed with its Lycoming engines and showed strong strafing accuracy thanks to side-force controls. Yet the YA-10 pulled ahead with better ground handling, easier maintenance access, and more proven TF34 engines already in service. On January 18, 1973 the Air Force picked the YA-10 design which became the legendary A-10 Warthog. The two YA-9 prototypes later went to NASA for testing. 🫡

Cerritos mid-air collision was 40 years ago: 82 died in a crash that led to landmark changes in the USA´s ATC systems August 31 1986: On approach to LAX airport, Aeroméxico Flight 498 (a DC-9) collides with a private Piper PA-28. The Piper struck the DC-9 through the tail section, killing all aboard instantly. With its tail torn off, the irrecoverably out-of-control airliner rolled and plunged into a Cerritos neighborhood. It exploded on impact, killing everyone aboard, along with 15 on the ground. The PA-28 then spun harmlessly into an empty playground. The inquiry determined the Piper entered Los Angeles’ Terminal Control Area without clearance. The aircraft lacked a Mode C transponder, LAX had no automatic warning system for such a breach, and neither crew appears to have seen the other in time; No fault was found with the DC-9 or the actions of its crew. The accident prompted the FAA to require TCAS - Traffic Collision Avoidance System - on large commercial jets and Mode C transponders on light aircraft operating in busy airspace such as LAX. A jury later assigned equal negligence to the Cessna pilot and the FAA, the organization in charge of ATC in the USA. Mayday ACI – “Out of Sight”

NewsNation’s Leland Vittert opened his show with one of the most powerful patriotic messages of the year. Leland Vittert declared that the daring rescue mission for the downed U.S. pilot in Iran is: “America at its very best.” VITTERT: “I’m going to tell you something that you won’t hear anywhere else on television tonight.” “THIS is America at its very best.” “Air crews go into battle, deep over enemy territory, knowing that if they shot down the ENTIRE U.S. military will stop at nothing to rescue them.” “Iranian state TV has been showing this video all day, purportedly showing rescue teams here, one of the helicopters taking fire from Iranian police trying to shoot with rifles.” “So hundreds of men and women right now are knowingly putting themselves in extreme danger, there are continued low-level flights over unknown enemy air defenses to bring back a single downed comrade.”

🚨 UPDATE: HERE IS EVERYTHING WE KNOW SO FAR ABOUT THE AMAZON PRIME AIR 767 THAT RAN OFF THE RUNWAY AT MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. The Boeing 767-300 cargo plane, operated by 21 Air for Amazon Prime Air, was flying Cargo South 7598 / N1997A from San Juan, Puerto Rico, to Miami. The aircraft overran Runway 30 during landing, crossed the airport perimeter and ended up near NW 67th Avenue/perimeter road. The aircraft appears to have come to rest right outside a Tesla charging/parking area near the airport. Massive plumes of black smoke were seen coming from the aircraft, and a fire was reported. All runways and taxiways were temporarily closed and a ground stop was issued at MIA. Video of the landing appears to show the Boeing 767 beginning to lean to one side before veering off the runway. WHAT CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO LEAN IS NOT YET KNOWN. A possible landing gear failure has been suggested, but that has NOT been confirmed. 🎧 AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL AUDIO FROM THE INCIDENT HAS ALSO EMERGED. UNCONFIRMED REPORTS ARE CURRENTLY CIRCULATING OF 6 FATALITIES, ALONG WITH INJURIES. THE DEATH TOLL HAS NOT BEEN OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED. This is still developing. FULL GROUND STOP IS STILL IN EFFECT. Prayers for all there. 🙏
