Default Singapore Air Force jet goes missing during training in US

SINGAPORE : A Singapore Air Force F-16C fighter jet has gone missing during a night training flight in the United States.

The fighter, which was part of a formation of three aircraft, took off on Thursday at 11.40am Singapore time, from Luke Air Force Base in Arizona.

A statement from the Defence Ministry says communications with the aircraft were lost about 45 minutes into the flight.

A search and rescue effort is now in progress to locate both the pilot and the aircraft. - CNA

i tot the odds of surviving if u jettison is almost 0%??!!?

somemore.. used to hear a joke that if ur plane is crashing.. u better go down together with it.. 'cos if you survive but the plane's totally burnt, you wont be able to pay back RSAF the repair cost of the plane!! =)

hopefully no foul play involved.
