AHMEDABAD: An upgraded MiG-21'Bison' aircraft of the Indian Air Force crashed after taking off from Naliya Airbase in Gujarat at 11.30 am on Saturday.
The pilot of the aircraft ejected safely, sources said, adding that it was on a routine training sortie.
The pilot of the aircraft had experienced trouble at a height of 18000 feet and thus had ejected safely.
A court of inquiry would be ordered into MiG-21 'Bison' crash sources said.
Nine IAF personnel were killed in a collision between two Mi-17 helicopters during a practice for a bombing mission at Sarmat range in Jamnagar, also in Gujarat, in August.
Five years ago a MiG-29 of Jamnagar Air Force station had crashed into the Gulf of Kutch.
