| #16 Sometimes things get a bit tangled up... Not if one cuts off 'the pedals' first. |

| #15 I am not sure it was a pilot, a real pilot wouldn't get in the danged thing. They got some dude from the Quds guard to get in it and they told him it was a peddle car. He hit the throttle and the rest is messy history. |

| #14 That may have been the cause .... In a cargo plane, there is room to lay out a prayer mat. But in a cramped fighter, you have to cut holes in the mat for the rudder pedals. Sometimes things get a bit tangled up... |

| #13 F-5 wasn't just one plane. There were F-5A through F5F delivered to Iran in the 70s |

| #9 If you can walk away from it, it's a landing... That wasn't a landing. |

| #1 That was quick, wasn't it? Not even a whole week between hype and reality. The authorities have launched a probe into the cause of the crash. I'd put 'the planes are old and they suck' at the top of the list. |
