| A Mirage 2000 jet fighter of the Indian Air Force (IAF) crashed near Gwalior late Tuesday night, officials here said. The jet crashed at about 9.15 p.m. while on a routine training flight from the Gwalior air base. Further details were not immediately available, and the status of the pilot was not known, the IAF officials, who did not want to be named, said. |

| #6 I wonder what little surprises all them Airbuses have in store.....? ;) A recent American Airlines Airbus crash has been blamed on pilot error. According to the manufacturer, if you waggle the tail too hard, it breaks off. |

| #4 The other way to look at this is.... you can only crash 'em if you fly 'em. Syria has not had an accident in ages. India maybe is cranking up air hours? |
