Horror and Tragedy..

Yesterday turned out to be a tragic day for the the Indian Navy Air Force. Performing in the International Aviation exhibition in Hyderabad, 4 IAF jet trainer Kiran mk-II's were performing an acrobatic maneuver in the skies when one plane could not gain altitude after a dip.

Much to the dismay of the bystanders and others, this plane lost altitude and crashed into a residential building killing both the pilots as well as a civilian. The Sagar Pawan acrobatic team lost 2 of its most brilliant pilots in this tragedy. A probe has been ordered into the incident and all the planes of this category have been grounded.

Current reports state that the aging aircraft was probably the primary reason for the accident. If so then we need a massive overhaul of all our aircrafts.
