Pilot safe as 3rd PAF trainer aircraft crashes in less than two months

Didn’t Pakistan once have female pilots? Perhaps they would be better served letting the girls take over.
[DAWN] A Pakistain Air Force (PAF) trainer aircraft crashed on Wednesday while on a routine training mission near Takht Bhai in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's Mardan district, the PAF said in a statement.

A spokesperson for the PAF added that the pilot ejected safely before the crash

"A board of inquiry has been ordered by Air Headquarters to determine the cause of [the] accident," the blurb said.

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

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. Both pilots, Squadron Leader Haris bin Khalid and Flying Officer Ibaadur Rehman, aboard the PAF FT-7 aircraft had bit the dust in the crash.

#1  Unfortunate. The survival part, that is.
