Maintenance.........not adhered to in LOS I think after the investigation is completed, this will be a identified as a case of pilot error and not maintenance. Not that we will likely ever see the investigation report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I never understood why the army has to brush up everything for Children's Day. Kids crawling all over tanks and offroad battle vehicles ?????? I could believe it 30+ years ago when I arrived here and I have still not understood it. Anyhow, some of the kids will remember this particular "Children's Day" for the rest of their life; what a memory was created Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaivisa have corrected it, see the title of the thread. The incorrect part was in the original report that TV republished so you may want to direct your observation to them.

wvavin Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Its utterly useless to own the most advance fighter jet with no REAL QUALIFIED people and enough funds (too many brown envelopes passing around) to maintain it. Finally, the pilot bear the brunt! Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It was much more common before than it is today. Today is very strict rules about safety, bufferzones, not flying in or over the crouds etc etc They have learned from previous accidents at airshows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda13 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 They might even want to change the name of the aircraft to 'Gripen', which is want it was.Gripen is Swedish for Griffen in english.

jaiyen Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 There was nothing to see ! The crash was miles away. If they want to be traumatised go and have a look at some of the Thai road crashes (NOT accidents) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spare me effin days = "Relatively" (Spell checker upset) Sorry to confuse your little brain! You obviously have know idea what you had seen in the video! If there was a mechanical issue this pilot had a great deal of time to eject. There was NO violent maneuver so I'm guessing disorientation. Just MHO.

I have just returned from a event in our local town, lots of fun things for the kids to do and then solders with M16 rifles.

AlQaholic Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 This aircraft has seen service since 1997 in several different countries air forces including Sweden which has about 200 of them, Czech Republic, Hungary, South Africa etc.... and finally Thailand. Although there was some crashing during development, None has ever crashed in service until now......and it had to be Thailand......R.I.P. for the Pilot, my condolences to the family.
