The US-built F-16 was taking part in rehearsals for a Pakistan Day airshow and parade set to take place on March 23.
There were no casualties on the ground or damage to property, according to an air force statement. Pakistan's President Afif Alvi expressed his condolences to the family of the pilot, Nauman Akram.
According to the Nation, the military parade coupled with an air show is an annual feature of Pakistan Day in Islamabad though it remained halted for many years in the past due to bad law and order situation of the country following the 9/11 incident.
