Ambala,Wednesday, July 23, 2003: In the second mishap involving an IAF fighter aircraft in less than a week, a Jaguar on Tuesday caught fire and veered off the runway during take-off from the Air Force Station here but the pilot was rescued by firefighters.
The incident took place at about 4.15 pm when the aircraft was about to take-off for an exercise sortie. An IAF spokesman said in Delhi that the pilot of the aircraft, Flt Lt S Kanvinde, aborted the take-off as he noticed the fire in the plane. Kanvinde was pulled out of the burning aircraft by fire tenders.
Eyewitnesses said the aircraft caught fire near a water tank and three fire tenders were pressed into service to douse the flames.
"The extent of the damage to the aircraft is being assessed and a Court of Inquiry has been ordered into the incident," he said adding it was not a crash.
