Russisch gevechtsvliegtuig neergestort

Een Russische straaljager is in het zuiden van Rusland neergestort. Het lot van de twee inzittenden is onduidelijk. Dat heeft het Russische ministerie van defensie woensdag gezegd.

De Su-24 bommenwerper crashte tijdens terugkeer van een trainingsmissie naar de luchtmachtbasis in de zuidelijke regio Volgograd. Er is een zoekoperatie ingesteld om de bemanningsleden te vinden, liet het ministerie weten.

In afwachting van een onderzoek naar de crash houdt de Russische luchtmacht zijn Su-24's voorlopig aan de grond.

Controls failure caused F-16 crash

Engine malfunction alone does not explain why Greek plane veered right after takeoff

Crashed F-16 fighter fell in "worst possible place," says military

Miguel González Madrid 2 FEB 2015

A controls failure was behind the crash of a Greek F-16 fighter jet that killed 11 and injured 20 at a Spanish airbase last Monday, according to first investigations.

An engine failure alone could not have been enough to cause the tragedy at Los Llanos base in Albacete, which operates as a NATO training center to improve joint air operations.

Sources familiar with the investigation said that even if the aircraft's single engine malfunctioned on takeoff, the F-16 should have normally continued in a straight line and the pilots would have been able to control where their plane crashed.


The fighter jet did a 45-degree right turn and headed straight for the hangar

Instead, the fighter jet veered 45-degrees right and headed straight for the hangar where Italian and French aircraft loaded with fuel were waiting to take part in a routine training exercise. As well as those planes' pilots, ground personnel were also in the area.

The F-16 barely rose a few meters off the ground and never pulled up its landing gear. Both Greek pilots on board ejected before crashing, but because by then the aircraft had tipped sideways, they were sent straight against the ground. Their bodies were found outside the hangar.

The nine other casualties were French military personnel.


The Albacete base had all necessary safety measures in place and the affected countries did not raise questions

While the F-16's black boxes are analyzed, investigators have already determined that the airplane did not hit the parked jets directly, but instead struck the ground a few meters away, burst into flames, and skidded into the area where two Italian AMX jets and two French Alfa Jets and one Mirage were on standby.

The F-16 was the fourth aircraft to take off as part of a training exercise involving nearly 30 planes from seven NATO member states.

Sources consulted by EL PAÍS insisted that all necessary safety measures were in place at the Albacete base. None of the affected countries have raised any questions regarding safety at the site, and the incident is being regarded as a chain of unfortunate events.

F-15C crashes over Shenandoah Valley

Published August 27, 2014

BARNES AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE, Mass. (AFNS) --  At approximately 9:05 a.m. today the 104th Fighter Wing lost radio contact with an F-15C aircraft during a cross country mission over the Shenandoah Valley Virginia. 

The pilot flying the F-15C made a report of an inflight emergency prior to radio contact being lost.  Subsequently there were reports of dark smoke being seen around the aircrafts last known whereabouts.   Local law enforcement arrived on scene and confirmed the aircraft crashed.

"Information on this incident is developing rapidly and we are not going to speculate on what occurred or the status of the pilot", said Col James Keefe, 104th Fighter Wing Commander.  "We are hopeful that the pilot is ok, and the pilot will be in our thoughts and prayers as the events of this incident unfold."

The F-15C aircraft was in route to receive a system upgrade, and there were no munitions on the aircraft during this cross-country trip.   

At this point the status of the pilot is not confirmed.

Eurofighter crashes at Spain's Moron base near Seville

A pilot has died after his Eurofighter jet crashed at a military base in southern Spain, defence officials say.

"A Eurofighter has crashed on landing on the runway of the Moron base", a Spanish defence ministry spokeswoman told the AFP news agency.

The accident took place at around 14:00 local time (12:00 GMT) at the facility, 56km (35 miles) south-east of Seville.

The base is shared by Spain and the US Air Force, but only Spain operates the Eurofighter jet.

Local media say the aircraft smashed in to the ground while attempting to land.

Images posted on social media showed black smoke rising from the vicinity of the air base.
