위키를 보니 MK108은 훈련기로 4기가 운용중이었네요. 교관이 사망하고 훈련생이 부상당한 것 같습니다.

첫댓글 밤에 활주로에서 난 사고라고 하니 아마도 착륙하는 훈련을 하다가 난 것 같습니다.
참고로 Butterworth는 1980년대 후반까지 오스트렐리아공군 Mirage IIIO 부대가 있던 곳입니다.
기지 이름만 보고서 말레이 공군이 영국이나 호주에 위탁교육 갔다가 사고났나 했었습니다.
@위종민 말레이 반도 북쪽에 있는 기지인데 1970년 말레이시아 지도자들은 위기가 발생하면 오스트렐리아군은 싸우지 않고 먼저 철수할 것이라고 생각하고 있었습니다.
