Very few details, but it looks like Jordan lost a 16 today and the pilot was killed. God speed to him and my thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Stories below from Petra and Canadian press.
Amman, September 28 (Petra) -- A routine training flight turned deadly on Tuesday when a Royal Air Force aircraft crashed during a military exercise killing the pilot, military sources said. The sources said that Capt. Saleh Abdul Rahman Darawsheh died when his plane developed a technical malfunction and crashed in the designated training zone. //Petra// AA 28/09/2010 17:21:55

My thoughs are with the people left behind.
it seem a little premature to claim technical reason before they are sure what airplane it was... |

Blaming the craft before they know what type of hull it was; denial is a powerful tool.
Best defense is a good offense!
