Laurius Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Wow ! That's a real and unbelievable tragedy ! I've just heard on TV news that 8 Frenches and 2 Greeks (the 2 F-16 pilots) personnels lost their lives in this horrible accident. My condolences to their families and relatives. I hope the wounded will go through this and recover soon. That's a sad sad day today.

Laurius Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Apparently, one F-16, a two-seater is involved. So mid-air collision appears to be unlikely. A retired French Air Force General said on TV news that controls faillure could be involved since the F-16 didn't crash in the runway axis after take-off, but did a left turn before crashing on the crowded parking area. The pilot might have struggled until the end to avoid dramatic damages without being able to do so.

tomcatter Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) What a sad accident..... Looks like, from the info that the Spanish Air Force is giving, that the crash happend when a Greeck two-seater F-16 lost power during the take off, causing the aircraft loss of control and crashed to the ground on a turn. It fells on the flight line, full of people getting the jets ready for the day, and it kills 10 men/women. The two pilots, and eight french militaries, three pilots and five ground crew, were killed and 21 were badly wounded, all of them italian and french militaries. At least five other aircrafts were seriously damaged or destroyed, seems they were french Mirage 2000/Alpha-Jet and italian AMX. I will include a illustration from El Pais, a spanish journal, that show what happend. It is a very unlucky event and a very violent accident. My condolences to all who suffer today.

Laurius Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks for the illustration Tomcatter. Things are getting clearer. The General I was refering to, said the plane was taking-off toward the sea, so on rwy 09. It's the opposite in fact. Loss of power and then loss of controls. This makes sense. Why the hell has this plane got a loss of power ?? Bird(s) sucked in the engine air intake ?? Ok, I don't want to speculate more than that and will stop commenting on that tragedy from now on. Waiting for the investigation results, hoping that something can be learned from what happened.
