skyhawk174 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Wow so sad news. For the pilot not to eject must have been a very serious situation that was more than just mechanical? The investigation should determine the cause. Not even sure if the military aircraft have black boxes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had a case when I was there and we got the HUD tape and mounted a player in our Twin and my boss followed it right to the crash point!! Aviation is a very unforgiving mistress!!
