The pics show how was the Sukhoi T-50 after the fire that took place at the right air intake in yesterday's morning.
According to the informations on the internet, the aircraft was doing a demonstration flight for an indian delegation when the onboard comunication system stopped working, followed by an alarm on the cockpit indicating problems with the right engine of the aircraft. The pilot turned it off and sinalized the landing.
After the landing, the pilot took the closest taxyway and shutted of the left engine when the control tower warned him to leave the aircraft ASAP because of the intense black smoke on the left air intake. He left without even waiting for the stairs, openned the canopy and ran for over 100m after seeing a pool of fuel on fire right below the plane.
