| [Iran Press TV] An Iranian Air Force fighter jet has crashed in the country's southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan, killing its two pilots. The F-4 Phantom II fighter jet crashed due to "technical problems" while in a training mission northwest of the port city of Konarak, in the vicinity of Taran village near the Kahir-Shahr district at 11:00 local time (07:30 GMT) on Tuesday, said Konarak Governor Bijan Bakhtiyari. The plane tried to land on a nearby road but failed due to heavy traffic at the time and crashed near the village, he said, adding that the case is under further investigation. Konarak is located some 700 kilometers (434 miles) south of the historic provincial capital city of Zahedan and 1,450 kilometers (900 miles) southeast of the capital Tehran. |

| #6 Where do get spare parts? Some F-4 avionics came in some years ago via roundabout ways from Israeli suppliers. Probably with a few, extra, 'unnecessary' circuits |

| #2 the F-4 was top of the line in the 1970s most everyone but Iran has ended use of these except for training and testing Iran was reported to have used the F-4 a few times in Iraq (against ISIS) back in 2014 when it looked like ISIS might surround Baghdad |
