RSAF PILOT DID NOT SURVIVE CRASH
The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) pilot who was involved in the F-16C fighter aircraft crash reported earlier did not survive the crash.

The pilot was LTA Loo Kwang Han, 25 years old. He graduated from Victoria Junior College in 1997 and joined the RSAF in Jun 1998. He obtained his pilot wings in Jul 2001 and became an F-16 pilot in Jan 2003.

MINDEF and the RSAF extend their deepest condolences to the family of the late LTA Loo Kwang Han.

sad to say but I was expecting this news, usually the pilot is found alive immediately after the crash. If I'm not wrong, this is the 1st fatal accident in 10 years, the last was the puma in roc.

Not a bad record for rsaf, they were operating for 5 to 6 years without a crash from 1994.

This is part and parcel of military aviation.

Accidents do happen.

part and parcel of aviation, not just military

Well, actually these are media reports... when I was in NS, my CQ died in 1.5tonner in ROC while supplying food and water to the check pts. No media reports at all.

There are several cases whereby, it does'nt warrant a media report and is not reported. Neutral

perhaps they are more transparent nowadays. and a plane is hard to account for.

No true local media does not report accidents in Taiwan. I just went through our records. Several are listed.

When was the accident? I can check whether it was reported.

RSAF F-16 Accident History

The one happened last May was flown by a USAF Major. He survived the afternoon crash.

Lieutenant Loo's last flight happens during "routine night training flight". Very dangerous.
You won't even know what hit you.
He was attached to 56th Fighter Wing, 425th FS 'Black Widows'

RIP..

“dangerous” is not the word used in Air Force to illustrate the risk of a profile. “dangerous” is used for an wrongful act that can lead to undesirable consequences.
