COLUMBUS, Miss. (AP) - The Air Force says two pilots are dead
after their trainer crashed at Columbus Air Force Base.
A news release from the base says the T-38C Talon crashed about
12:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The names of the pilots were withheld until relatives could be
notified.
WCBI-TV in Columbus reported that witnesses saw a large plume of
smoke coming from the base. The runways were closed and some other
Air Force planes were diverted to nearby Golden Triangle Regional
Airport, which usually handles commercial flights.
This is the third plane from the base to crash since January
2007, but it is the first accident that caused deaths.
