| Announcement: Saudi pilot killed as Eurofighter crashes in Spain |
| Posted: gvla @ Tue Aug 24, 2010 6:26 pm |
A Eurofighter aircraft has crashed at Spain's Morón air base with one fatality, the Spanish ministry of defence has confirmed.
The combat aircraft, which was on a regular training flight, crashed into the ground "moments after take-off" from the base near Seville, according to the ministry's statement.
It was being piloted under dual control by a lieutenant colonel from the Saudi Arabian air force, who was killed, and a Spanish air force commander, who ejected before the crash.
The ministry says the Spanish pilot is "well" and required only a "basic" level of medical attention.
CITAAM, the Spanish body responsible for investigating military aircraft accidents, has despatched a team to Morón to identify the causes of the incident.
The Saudi lieutenant colonel was at the Spanish base after the two nations signed a Eurofighter training contract.
