Two young pilots who were on a training sortie died when the aircraft they were flying crashed into an agricultural field here on Sunday.
The aircraft belonged to Begumpet-based Wings Aviation Private Ltd. The accident took place near Sultanpur village of Bantvaram block in Vikarabad district on the outskirts of the city.
Eyewitnesses said that the aircraft that took off from Begumpet airport here lost control in the rain, came down at a very high speed and hit the ground in a cotton field. The impact was such that the bodies of trainee Pilot Prakash Vishal and trainer Ms Amanti Preet Kaur couldn’t be recognised.
