PACE Pakistan workers rescue PAF pilot after aircraft crash


LAHORE: A Mirage fighter aircraft of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) crashed near the Durrab Lake on the under-construction PACE Pakistan Limited tourist resort in the Kallar Kahar area on Wednesday.

Workers from the site near the Chakwal Interchange rescued the pilot who had managed to eject safely.

According to details, workers were busy at the construction site for the tourist resort when the plane crashed. Construction workers rushed their boats to fish the pilot out of the lake.

According to Pace Resorts Manager (Operations) Noorul Huda, the incident occurred at 4:45pm, and the workers were able to get the pilot to safety within minutes of the crash.

According to PAF, the aircraft was on a routine training mission and crashed after it developed a technical fault. No damage to life or property on the ground was reported. A board of inquiry has been ordered to investigate the incident.
