Operational history
The JH-7A entered service with the PLANAF in early 2004, and with the PLAAF by the end of the year.[8]
On 19 July 2009, a JH-7A crashed during the Sino-Russia military exercise "Peace Mission 2009". Both pilots failed to eject and were killed.[9]
On 14 October 2011, a JH-7A crashed during an exhibition at an air show in central China, outside the city of Xi'an. One pilot was killed and one injured in this accident.[10]

[QUOTE=Valdor;32788927]They have to search for the missing pilot?
Pretty sure he's where the plane is.[/QUOTE]
They have such bad quality that the pilot disappeared from the face of the earth.
Made in China.
This time it's deadly.

Sounds about right. F-22 has a rather blemished record when it comes to bizarre crashes.
Yeah, I knew the pilot of the last one that went down through church. Damn shame.

Could you imagine what you would think if they asked you to pilot one of these.
"Yeah we never actually shot anything down with this, infact statistically your more likely to murder yourself, well good luck!"
Those damn chinese drivers....

Well, the ejection mechanism only half worked.

I can not stress enough if anyone in this thread is a student pilot or current certified licence holder, please please [B]please do not rely solely on your instruments[/B]. A good look-out is crucial; not only for other traffic or hazards but knowing a rough attitude for safe and level flight on your most common aircraft type could be the difference between life and death.

Unless you're flying IFR I'm pretty sure it's impossible to rely on your instruments too much. If you have a brain, anyhow.
[quote] After the initial entry and recovery, the aircraft should have had enough airspeed to be recovered. The fact it was not recovered points to several things. [/QUOTE]
From my perspective, it looks like he recovered, considered whether he had enough time to pull out of the dive and ejected.
