  3. This is sad, let's pray both pilots are safe and sound.

    The jet, appears to be Turkish, and not Pakistani like the title says. Even the roundel in the picture is Turkish.

  4. @ Qasim.
    The title (and story) only talk about a Pakistani and Turkish pilot (which is true). But you are right. This was a TUAF T-37 from the 122 FILO, Cigli Air Base.
