Air Commodore Sanjay Chauhan died in a Jaguar crash. He didn’t eject because A/C was over the village and could have taken many lives, so he went down with his plane.

Ranks don't matter. I got to fly."

A quote from J.R.R Tolkien sprang to mind -
"I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend"
Air Commodore Sanjay Chauhan, one such warrior, gave the ultimate proof of his love for his people being even more than his love for his weapon.

To be clear: the pilot didn’t eject, he was EJECTED involuntarily from his Jaguar after touchdown at Jamnagar. A very troubling accident investigation lies ahead for the Indian Air Force.
Re: Military Flight Safety
It could be the G switch for the Jaguar plane ejection seat.
Who makes the ejection seats?
Martin Baker?

Re: Military Flight Safety
One of the worst threads to read. In the last 6 weeks, two Jaguars, one Su-30MKI and one MiG-21. The loss of two pilots is even worse.
Re: Military Flight Safety
I saw Sqn Ldr Meet Kumar’s video (Frontline, I think) a few months ago. My condolences to his family. A great loss. May his soul rest in peace.
Re: Military Flight Safety
"Pilot Safe"
Whew. That's good.
PS:
Twitter video of pilot on the Ground courtesy: Shreya Dhoundial @shreyadhoundial
"I was alone. I am fine." The @IAF_MCC pilot who ejected safely moments before his MIG 27 burst into flames in Jodhpur.
I do hope that he is ok and that there are no major internal injuries.
