A Pakistan Air Force (PAF) jet crashed near Sargodha while on a training mission on Thursday, according to reports.

It is yet to be determined whether or not the pilot survived.

A week back or so, another flight crashed near Mianwali, in which a senior PAF officer embraced martyrdom.

The flight apparently developed a technical fault when the flight crashed near the Sabzazar area of Mianwali late on August 8.

Back in 2002, F7-PGs were first inducted in the PAF as a replacement for the F-6, which was then decommissioned.

The PAF has more than 50 of the Chinese-made aircraft in its fleet. And about 10 or 11 F7-PGs/FT-7PGs have been crashed in the 15 years that they have been in service.

According to the aviation experts, however, this much loss of F7-PGs/FT-7PGs is well within the normal limits.
