BREAKING - Turkish Airforce F16 crashes - Pilot Safe

[retaxis]

From my personal experience at Sun N Fun air show in Florida this year, the F-16's that fly by was loud enough to rattle every bone in my body, if i wasn't wearing ear protection i think i would go deaf, and i can only imagine how scary that could be that a F-16 or any other fighter jet fly that close to ground, its insane.

Yeah if they broke the sound barrier at that height, it would tear a house apart and kill animals and lifestock

That is insane, i think that Air forces should regulate that pilots will not fly below a certain heights, regardless of the occassions. Its not only risky for pilots/fighterjet but also civilians and animals too.

SOLOTURK has passed by us many times flying at a low altitude at a speed of 1200 km/h and It didn't bother people at all.

If an F-16 creates a sonic boom, that's a different matter.
During the July 15 coup attempt, the traitorous pilots repeatedly caused sonic booms in Istanbul and Ankara

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 have clipped trees

These extreme low-altitude flights are something Turkish F-16 Pilots always do and repeat thousands of times a year

It wasn't a mechanical failure
it was the Pilot's overconfidence and excessively extereme low-altitude flight.

Stupid and dangerous and totally pointless. The hell is the point of getting a fighter jet that literally fly at speed over the ground at 10 metres ? it's needlessly dangerous lucky he didn’t kill anyone

As I was bored and decided to check this forum for a couple of mins just in case you guys had any interesting thread,I saw this one and @Ali_Baba 's posts made me break my "silence" just to show you something.

First of all,I agree 100% with you Ali. And especially with this quotes:

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 ?

Utterly reckless and unprofessional flying conduct and behaviour..

There seems to be a history of such reckless "bravado" among Turkish pilots,that has historically caused the loss of lives,both Greek and Turkish,in the Aegean. Turkish pilots often fly in an extremely unprofessional manner,just to provoke or to look more "skilled" or "tough".

I wanted to show you this specific video with the comments of a Greek pilot during the engangment.

The dialogue follows as:

-We're behind a quartette,two F-16s and two RF-4s...the F-16s are "closed",the RF-4s are escorting them...
-Watch out for the RF-4s below...
-I see them...
-Watch it, 'cause they're on top of me,in case they pull some ******* off...
-Correct,I see it.
----

-Vaggelis,watch out for both of them
-Ok,I'm watching both of them...

----

-The F-16s are conducting dangerous maneuvers.I'm moving away from the RF-4s...
-Vaggelis,did you get it on camera?
-Correct,everything's recorded...
-Those dumbfucks! (big wankers/idiots/assholes)
-Did they pass in front of you?
-Didn't you see what he pulled?
-Barrel roll around you?
-Now I feel like shooting that f*** down right now,seriously.
-Relax...
-He wanted to kill me,do you understand that?


And such accidents did happen because of Turkish recklessness and unprofessional conduct.

One of the routine interception maneuvers led to a fatal accident on 23 May 2006. Two Turkish F-16s and one reconnaissance F-4 were flying in the international airspace over the southern Aegean at 27,000 feet (8,200 m) without having submitted flight plans to the Greek FIR authorities. They were intercepted by two Greek F-16s off the coast of the Greek island Karpathos. During the ensuing mock dogfight, a Turkish F-16 and a Greek F-16 collided midair and subsequently crashed. The pilot of the Turkish plane survived the crash, but the Greek pilot died. The incident also highlighted another aspect of the FIR issue, a dispute over conflicting claims to responsibility for maritime search and rescue operations. The Turkish pilot reportedly refused to be rescued by the Greek forces that had been dispatched to the area. After the incident, both governments expressed an interest to revive an earlier plan of establishing a direct hotline between the air force commands of both countries in order to prevent escalation of similar situations in the future.

Good to hear from you, hope all is well with you!
