SINGAPORE: An aircraft that was taking part in the Singapore Airshow caught fire following an accident at Changi Airport on Tuesday (Feb 6) afternoon.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) said that at 1.24pm,
an aircraft from the Black Eagles aerobatic team from the Republic of Korea Air Force
skidded and crashed into the grass verge at the side of Changi Airport's Runway 1 and caught fire.

The aircraft was taking off for the flying display programme at the Singapore Airshow when the incident happened, CAAS said.

"The pilot sustained light injuries and is being treated," it added.

I'm amazed that the pilot only suffered minor injuries, because it looks like the jets flipped over and shortly afterwards caught fire...

According to ASN, it is a write off..

No serial yet. (Checked some of the pictures I found, but no answer to that one yet)

Ejected before the roll, probably.

He did not eject, he walked away from his jet. Lucky pilot.

He sure is lucky, regardless how he got out.. but where did you find that he climbed out after the crash?
