Three Ukrainian pilots, including a well-known MiG-29 pilot who went by the call sign “Juice” and was part of a unit known as “Ghost of Kyiv,” died in a plane crash over the weekend.

Two L-39 combat trainer aircraft collided in the sky near the city of Zhytomyr, about 87 miles west of Kyiv, on Friday, resulting in the deaths of three pilots, the Ukrainian Air Force wrote on X, previously known as Twitter.

I read he was parking an F-13.

I read differently. I read that he was piloting the far more advanced F-79.

There are old pilots and bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots.

Not to worry… AFTER THREE DAYS “JUICE” WILL RISE and go to F-16 training. Possibly an unemployed Ukrainian commercial airline pilot and well known blogger will also volunteer to attend F-16 training.

Is this a 4chan Sam Hyde joke, again?

Funny how they made the transition from the story about “The Ghost of Kiev” being a single pilot who shot down all those Russian planes, to now, a unit of pilots of which one of these dead pilots belong to.

I imagine that allows them to obfuscate in some way that “The Ghost of Kiev” as originally presented was totally false propaganda.

Training is dangerous. The US lost 13,000 airmen in training accidents during World War II.

It would have been worse if they had Clyded, because Clyde would have gotten kilt, too...

The Ukie oligarch “NATO weapons” porch pirates stole the F-13s after UPS dropped them off.

Dance on the graves of the brave. Meanwhile, a US Marine pilot was killed in his F/A-18 at MCAS Miramar, and three American servicemen died in a training crash in Australia. Training for aerial combat is inherently dangerous. You going to celebrate their deaths as well? Since it seems so amusing to you, from behind your keyboard?

They’ll regenerate in a few minutes. What Ukraine really needs is the Master Chief from Halo.
