 Off Fighter Control site MAJOR CRASH DURING TLP EXERCISE * NEWS CATCH, FIGHTERS 2015/01/26 AIRHEADS/EH In what appears to be a major incident, a Greek Air Force F-16 crashed on Monday 26 January at Albacete airbase in Spain, while taking part in a Tactical Leadership Program (TLP). The aircraft apparently hit parked aircraft. The accident happened around 3.30 pm local time. Eye witnesses report a big explosion and fire. The Spanish Ministry of Defense reports at least four persons wounded. The fate of the pilot is not clear at this time. Bob

Next to the F.15 looked like a damaged FAF AlphaJet. Anyone else notice that or did I dream it?

Yes, i saw that, it didnt look like an alphajet though, could be the angle it was sitting. Sky reporting many nationalities on casualty list, MOD say no UK forces servicemen involved

It looked like an AlphaJet with no nose gear!
I assumed it was damaged in the crash, but I only saw a quick glimpse .

Seems the French aircraft took the brunt of the impact, and agree with ZZ that's an AlphaJet on its nose
