A SENIOR IAF officer in the rank of Air Commodore or above will preside over the Court of Inquiry (CoI), which will investigate the crash of the two IAF jets on Saturday in which one pilot was killed, defence officials said on Sunday. The CoI will also comprise fighter pilots, and technical and medical officers, they said.
The crash of the Mirage 2000 and the Sukhoi 30 (Su-30 MKI) fighter jets at Morena in Madhya Pradesh and neighbouring Bharatpur in Rajasthan is learnt to have taken place during a close combat training mission undertaken as part of the fighter combat leader course under the Gwalior-based Tactics and Air Combat Development Establishment.
