Any details on the pilot and his experience etc?

'Oh dear' WTF?

@Splinty , it's an English thing, not a British thing. Scots would never say this.

 

[Zeph]

Looks like the pilot blacked out.

Supposedly he's alive.
As for human vs plane error or experience, no clue.

Check this

 

[SongExotic2]

How the fuck is he alive? What is he a T1000?

 

[sparkuri]

Wow.
That could have easily been a civilian pilot.
That's an old light support/attack plane.
What a tragedy.
It looks like a mechanical failure to me.

Please explain how it looks like that

 

[Zeph]

Wouldn't the pilot have bailed out if it was mechanical?

Id think so, unless he was trying to ditch it away from pedastrians and failed.

Please explain how it looks like that

When it comes down, before the crash, you'll see the aircraft pivot to the left.
Usually that's engine, aileron, or flap failure.
Mechanical in short.
Unless the guy had heart problems or blood flow problems, that maneuver was a low G maneuver and blackout would not come into play.

There was so little time between the perceived failure. Who knows.

I see it now. Not sure why he would be moving his aileron at that point.

I don't believe he would be, hence....

Shitty time for it to happen.

 

[SongExotic2]

So apparently the guy is a very experienced ex harrier pilot and instructor.

"oh dear...... Oh dear"

He must be familiar with the Hawk then, as both are BAE I believe.

Yes. In fact in the British military he would have learned to fly the hawk before he flew harrier. They use them as training planes. Think they even fly tucanos (prop plane) before they fly hawks

You're right!

I love Embraer Tucano's, especially with rocket pods, heh heh.
