Yet another Mig crash…this time the Mig 29. This was in the paper(Indian Express):
Yet another Mig down, this time the Mig 29 has crashed in the fields of Ajnoha village in Hoshiarpur district of Punjab on Wednesday night, killing the pilot Squadran Leader S.Mehra. The aircraft according to IAF officials was on a routine night flight.
According to an IAFofficial, The Mig took off from Adampur AFB and was expected to land at 9:20 pm.(local time), but it lost contact with the control room. The pilot informed the control tower of a snag in the plane and tried to prevent the plane from crashing on the village. The pilot could not eject at the right time and died.
What do u all think of this…first the Mig 21, then the Mig 23 and 27, know the Mig 29???
