This is the third PAF training aircraft to have crashed while on a routine training mission in less than two months. If they crash so often, it's good the pilots have crash training Last Friday, a PAF Mirage aircraft, which was on a routine operational training mission, had crashed near the Lahore-Multan  ...Home of the Multan Sultans...Motorway. The pilot had managed to eject safely in that incident as well. Earlier in January, a PAF aircraft had crashed while on a training mission near Mianwali.
