Two RF-84F aircraft of 184.Filo based in Diyarbakır Main Jet Base, took off for routine photo reconnaisance training mission. During flight of two ship formation both aircraft entered to climbing turn into the clouds and number two aircraft suffers engine failure. Pilot separates from the leader and tries to restart the engine. After the unsuccesful attempt he realises that the aircraft is in inverted nose down attitude and initiates ejection. The pilot suffered severe injuries as he ejected inverted and parachute ropes made cuts around his neck and head. After a very short descend inside the clouds he lands on a ridge cousing broken leg and ribs. He was found by local villagers and later rescued by local gendarmerie.
