Disaster After the Mid-Air Spin
Tuesday, December 29, 2015
The maneuver performed by the T-50i Golden Eye jet fighter in Yogyakarta under a clear sky on Sunday last week ended in disaster. Pilot Marda Sarjono applied an afterburner so that the nose of the aircraft rose upright. The jet owned by the Indonesian Air Force then took a plunge while performing a loop maneuver.
The fighter should have ascended before it was too close to the ground, but the aircraft seemed to have lost the power to lift off. In the end, the 6-ton fighter hit the south part of the airbase at 9:53am.
