Multan: A PAKISTANI police officer says a twin-seat training plane has crashed near an airport in central Pakistan killing both instructor and the trainee pilot.
Javed Azam says the instructor, Maaz Ahmed, had contacted the control tower minutes after taking off from Faisalabad airport yesterday noon and requested an emergency landing because of engine failure.
Azam said the plane crashed yesterday just short of the landing strip, with no damage on the ground. Rescue teams have recovered the bodies of the instructor and trainee, Mohammad Ahmed.
