Crash of Thai Air Force’s F-5 fighter jet may have been caused by bird strike

The pilot, Wing Commander Suthimet Ouamdee, who suffered injuries after ejecting from the plane, wrote to his wife telling her that he had to eject from the fighter after something struck and broke the cockpit windshield, causing blood to splash everywhere.

As the plane was traveling at an estimated 1,000 kilometers per hour, air and debris were blown through the damaged windshield and it was impossible to save the aircraft.

Inspectors from the RTAF will continue to investigate the cause of the crash, Sornchaidee added.

Lezuhant egy dél-koreai F-5-ös, a pilóta meghalt, el akarta kerülni, hogy lakóházakra zuhanjon a gép.

Két érdekes modell.
Az első egy F-5 vadászbombázó változat,az A4 vetélytársának szánták

Másik szerintem még érdekesebb,állitólag Izraelnek készült ajánlat modelje a Lavi program kezdeti időszakában.Kacsaszármyas F20 variáció.
