It is such a tragic loss in a somewhat self-made scenario. Though it is part of training and professionalism but very tragic for a nation, especially a family.
 
People are furious on defence sites. Upset and furious. Because many of them think air shows are pointless and because we should have retired the Phantoms a long time ago. It's more or less like the debate about air shows we had when the turkish pilot almost died back in August.

Condolences to you and the Greek nation.

Please don’t mention Turkey or our friend @MMM-E will rebut you with 10 page infographics of all the advanced weapons that Turkey is going to make 🤣

Actually, air shows are best left to dedicated teams whose bread and butter is low level displays in controlled airfield environments.

Even those suffer their casualties.

Aluminum filled with fuel - with a fragile mass of bones and meat that is subject to physical forces that the aircraft also bears and whose sensor processing is dependent upon tens if not hundreds of factors - has higher probability for things going wrong.

The bigger question is what should do air shows? While thrilling - an operational F-16 is purchased with Tax Payer money..
on the other hand a private owner's extra 300 or even a private owner's L-39 or Mig-29 is their money.
 
RIP to the departed souls. My prayers with the family of the pilots.
May God give them patience in this time of loss and grief.
Very Sad news to hear.

I cannot forget how the Greeks mocked and shared laughing emojis when the Turkish Air Force C130 transport plane crashed in Georgia

but as a Turk and as a human being, I offer my condolences to the families of the Pilots

You've been joyous too many times about HAF pilots crashing,don't think I haven't noticed. But to what you said above,it's probably retarded commenters on youtube or FB. Youtube and FB are full of retarded people. On every side.
