Fighter jets|Rovaniemi’s fighter accident happened during the presentation. According to the Chief of Staff of Lapland Airport, there is no need for anything.

The condition of Hornet fighters is more influenced by the use than age, says Petteri Puusa, Chief of Staff of Lapland Airport.

Puusa cannot justify why performance flights are organized, even though they consume machines.

« In any case, it was a fully usable machine. »
Wood He says that the first fighter number of trunk number, which had already been now decommissioned, was deliberately flown more than the others, because the Air Force wanted to monitor the machine’s fatigue and wear in practice.
In addition to flight hours, fatigue is also monitored in many other ways.
According to Puusa, the hornets remaining in Finland have been roughly the same.
Accident It happened during a performance flight on Wednesday morning.
Puusa says that on the agenda, pilots are getting a good exercise, but they are not essential to the pilots’ skills.
So why are presentations arranged if they consume machines?
« It’s a PR-level question that someone else could answer better, » Puusa says and laughs.
« It’s a choice made. However, in Finland, performances are rarely held compared to some other countries. »
So there is no need to organize performances, for example, because pilots get exercise?
« No.
According to the Air Force, an experienced pilot flew the machine. He was slightly injured in the accident.
