Military Aircraft Crashes

here goes about $20 million llooll

August 1993

On 8 August 1993, a production JAS 39A Gripen (serial no 39-102[2]) crashed on the central Stockholm island of Långholmen, near the Västerbron bridge, when the aircraft stalled after a slow speed manoeuver during a display over the Stockholm Water Festival. The crash was, like the first one, caused by PIO, and caught on film.[1] The pilot − Rådeström again − ejected from the aircraft, and landed safely by parachute, though he became stuck in a tree. The aircraft fell to the ground and caught fire at impact. Despite large crowds standing by watching, no one on the ground was seriously injured, and the fire was soon put out.

The aircraft had been delivered to the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration in June, only two months prior to the crash.[2] The display flight was not classified as in-service, because it was being flown at a display by a test pilot, rather than an officer in the Swedish Air Force.
