Look again at the plane. At the 5 second mark there is a flash above the top wing.

All about the timing

what's wrong with that ? I'm not celebrating death, how is that against the rules? please shed a light on this. or you guys are just trying hard to please indian asses like always.

One less Teja bhai and one less pilot to be used against us.

Sorry but no sympathy from me.

The transition from negative G to sustained flight might have caused a lapse in concentration which may have led to him rolling over in confusion or compensation. Negative Gs are actually painful even if flown well during demos. I have been watching the all the demos especially the Su-57 for the last 4 days. Once again, RIP.........a good friend was taxiing out to display the F-16E and he was stuck shocked on what just happened....

I read yesterday that your a pilot, if you watch the video from facebook, at the 5 second mark there is a flash and a streak or flames or something like that. Any thoughts on what that is?

I see a flash at the nose cone only. Maybe you can do a screenshot and annotate it with an arrow for everyone ?

Sincere condolences to Indian members here on the loss of their pilot.

There was a flash from the cockpit and a dull "thump".

It seemed like the cockpit to me... could have been an engine intake.

Not a big deal.
It clearly happened as the pilot erred in trying to do a loop at too low of an altitude.
So not technical cause.

First of all sorry for the loss. and prayers for the pilot family. second if it is a pilot error then again it is a shame for IAF on their training

Update: Indian ariforce officers and staff who took picture with Pakistani jet all will be fired and inquiry has been ordered.

I wonder what the pilot was trying to do?

Isn't the aircraft simply too low to perform any sort of drastic manoeuvre?

 

[conqueror]

Seems like misjudgment on part of pilot about height and if he can pull that stunt off at that level. No attempt to eject means pilot thought he could make it.
