As long as the pilot is safe, machine is replaceable but human is not.
Well, considering Turkey-USA relations, replacing the plane with an identical one won't be that easy. :) Kaan, I think we'll stay on edge until it enters the inventory with the TF35000 engine.

yeah but human life is above all, for me no plane any gen is more valuable than 1 human life.
 
Training=mishaps and bad stuff, thats why its training...don't panic guys lol, The most important part is that pilot is okay.
 
First time, it almost felt like Pakistani jet crashed… after the Makkah agreement.

I hope the pilot is safe and continues to recover

Turkish F-16 Pilots are world-renowned for their ultra low altitude flying capabilities and daring maneuvers. These low-pass flights frequently go viral on social media


F-16 Pilot was flying at an extreme low altitude ( just 10 m ) to salute the Turkish Air Force Academy students but its external fuel tanks may have clipped trees

Is it really worth it ? What is the point of this type of flying? TuAF has lost a valuable airframe, and potentially could have lost a pilot ... For what ?

( PAF also lost a valuable and capable pilot, and an airframe in these type of theatrics that serve no value imho - an I love airshows! )

Safety limits exist for a reason.

In the Eastern Mediterranean or in the Aegean , the objective is to approach undetected by radar, suddenly gain altitude, release the missile, then descend back to low altitude and disappear from radar using ghost mode.

Why do they need demonstrating ? Does the public really know the difference?

Still crazy and pointless.

if a RAF pilot attempted to fly like this, they would get grounded...

RAF Pilot doesnt have enemy to face every day

TURAF Pilots must always conduct top-level training flights against Greek and Israeli Pilots

The Turkish Pilot owes this to his superior skill and training flights.

There are only a few pilots in the world who can perform this maneuver with an F-4.
 
With hundreds of low-altitude flights, accidents are bound to happen occasionally
The only accident I've seen in 20 years like this


Greek pilots have had numerous accidents in the Aegean Sea as a result of maneuvering at low altitude to face Turkish F-16s in dog fight and They lost Pilots
