Britain’s Royal Air Force and Germany’s Luftwaffe both said they’d pause operations of the plane until the reasons for the crash become clear. The aircraft that went down on Saturday was several minutes into a first test flight before being delivered to Turkey. Germany has just one unit so far.

The left engine is pressed into the turf, with the propeller blades missing. Moreover, the fuselage in front of the wing root is completely out of alignment with the fuselage aft of the wing. There also appear to be fracture lines running the circumference of the fuselage by the second and third passenger window.
