LiquidSky Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Heard through the grapevine about this just now. Allegedly an Iraqi pilot in training, no word if it was dual or solo though. Hoping everyone is alright... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B52gator Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Or what about the crash in the NTTR the day before the Hogs crashed? Pilot killed but very little known. Any info out there on that? Rough week. Edited September 9, 2017 by b52gator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure this did not happen. I've been out here TDY for a little over a week and haven't heard anything like that. I think one did blow a tire or have some malfunction after landing the other day but that's all I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That exact scenario DID happen a few months ago. It was one of their family-model A-4s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was likely it then. Glad there wasn't another to add to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
