And another one bit the dust:
It killed the pilot, unfortunately.

Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
When I returned from Lukla airport from my Everest basecamp trek in 2016 and was sitting in the shuttlebus to the terminal at Kathmandu airport I was able to take a photo of this aircraft from the Nepalese Air Force. I read it crashed on May 30, 2017 on a small airstrip in Nepal. The captain was killed while both other crew members were seriously injured.
Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
Crashed in Comoros islands in 2009.
Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
I took this photo from my local air show exactly two years ago, which crashed 22 days later:
This is the one and only aircraft that I took so far that was later involved in a serious accident.

This is a photo I took of N121JM a Gulfstream IV. It crashed May 31, 2014 in Bedford, Massachusetts killing everyone on board, including the co-owner of the Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper.

Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
Took this just 5 days before it had the uncontained engine failure. Probably was the last picture of this aircraft

Yes, that might be last picture of her in the air. But this bird is still standing at ORD ARFF training area. Obviously is written off so no tail number. I believe that some of us from ORD AW took a picture of her during last ORD tour.
Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
I took this Miami Air International B738 back in 2016 while spotting a Mizzou football charter for an away game; this exact aircraft (N732MA) was later involved in a runway excursion accident in Jacksonville, FL just days ago:
Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
I have a number of shots of N732MA, Miami Air did (still does?) team charter flights for the New York Islanders, and we saw their birds in and out of KFRG regularly during the hockey season. I've also caught it a few times in the Charlotte area, at KJQF for NASCAR team flights, and a couple of times at KCLT for some charter work.

I would hope so. I'd be surprised if you managed to take the picture before you evacuated.
Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
Sadly yes, I have taken a photo of the bird that crashed in ET302. I have photos of Lion's LQQ and LQR, but I did not get LQP on camera. Saw it flying in and out of BFI though.
Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
The shot of the TWA DC9 was the most errie for me knowing everyone on that plane was going to be dead in a short time.
Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
I have another one in the a.net DB and while insignificant (not involved in a major crash), it was w/o after an accident with a jet bridge on the ground in 2020:

I know the photographer who took that shot quite well. Bob Garrard took the photo. He often shared that he was asked about the photo from major news outlets. His wife is from New York. When he didn't want to talk about the photo and the incident, his wife shared, "you don't turn down The Times!"

Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
Another one to add to the list.
Unfortunately crashed on Tuesday 18th of October 2022 near the center of Guayaquil, killing two occupants.
She crashed in a little city park, hurting no one on the ground.
For the record, she was in a different livery at the time of the accident.

Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
Somebody else has posted a photo of SAS SE-DMA but I thought I'd share mine.
I was visiting Milan in 2001 and took some photos whilst waiting for my BUZZ 146 flight (6 abreast on a BAE 146!) from Linate and I caught the Scandinavian MD-87 parked up on the ramp. Two months later the jet was to crash on its takeoff roll after colliding with a Cessna Citation in foggy weather. The Jet climbed a few meters before falling back to earth and slamming into part of the airport building, sadly killing 110 people.
https://aviation-safety.net/database/re ... 20011008-0
RIP to all of those involved. I still think of that accident to this very day and remember receiving messages from some of the family members who saw some words written on this very forum.
On a side note, does anybody know why my membership states I have been a member since 2004 yet I have been part of these forums since 1999? The photo is from 2001!

Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
I took a photo of this DHC-2 Beaver that would have a mid air collision a few years later resulting in 8 fatalities

Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
A bit grim subject, but currently my shots of later written off aircraft stands at 159, but there's a gap of 6 yrs when I didn't update the list, so there might be (and almost certainly is) more.
The closest one was this Afriqiyah A330 that I took just ten days prior:
After my trip to MIA last Feb-Mar, already two aircraft have been involved in an accident, luckily both without casualties.

Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
When uploading, I always do a bit of research on the plane and 26x I found the plane had crashed later in its career 
(at least) 4 were featured in an Air Crash Investigation:
Episode "Fatal approach"
Episode "Nuts and Bolts"
Episode "High Rise Catastrophe"
Episode "Peril over Portugal"
Also this one, much later in its career while operation for National Airlines. Episode "Afghan Nightmare"
Perhaps also an interesting shot, this one here landing in AMS with flames coming out of the engine. The plane crashed 6 months later...

Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
This was when I really wasn’t into taking photos, but just watching, N772UA was the reg, I caught it in Chicago about a week before it’s #2 engine would go kaboom and would end up showering a Denver suburb in engine parts. This incident would lead to a grounding of all P&W powered 777’s.
I also not only saw, but worked with a Falcon 20 at my former employer right before it went down after taking off out of KPTK (Oakland County International), tail reg N123RA. The cause was fuel starvation.

Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
I will add this one, which is also the strangest request I have ever received for photo usage... I took this photo in 2012. Few months later, this plane was w/o after a wheels-up landing. All hands on board survived.
How did I manage to learn this?
Because few weeks ago I was contacted by the current owners, who transformed this plane into a mobile bar!

Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
Short answer: yes. I've also flown in several planes that have later been written off. After 45 years of being an Avgeek, it happens.

Re: You Ever Shot A Bird Later Involved In An Accident
Pre digital I've got
N736PA Lockerbie Pan Am a short time before it happened
TW800
Air Malta 727 with Peruvian registered that went down over the Atlantic
Kenya Airways A310
Air India 747 which i recall was w/o in India
G-ANWD lost in Kuwait
Saudia 747 lost over India
Malev Tu154 I think too that overrun somewhere
I think there's a few that were sold on from the operator I'd taken a picture of the plane in, too. Can't remember them all off hand
Digital era
BA 777 at LHR
Didn't get the MH 777 9M-MRD but parked next to it at AKL
Not sure about any others not checked them
