Maybe the pilot ejected and something went wrong with the ejection process?

The aircraft had departed from PAF Base M.M. Alam, Mianwali, according to newspaper reports. Probably F-7PG Skybolt?

The aircraft crashed in a forest near Muzaffar Pur, Wan Bhachran, Sabza Zaar, some twenty kilometers away from Mianwali city. Heavy machinery was used to clear way in the forest for search & rescue teams.

Funeral prayers of the pilot have been performed in Dera Ghazi Khan, according to news channels.

The crashed aircraft was an F-7P Skybolt, according to PTV News.

Every squadron has its own call sign, and this is a confidential information, even if some one knows, please do not share on net.
