Two killed in plane crash

YOGYAKARTA: A Charlie C-213 training aircraft crashed near
Adisutjipto Airport here yesterday, killing the trainee pilot on
board, eyewitnesses said.

They said the plane dropped from an altitude of about 1,000
feet, adding the pilot probably lost control during "a vertical
down" maneuver.

The identity of the trainee was not immediately made
available, the report said. The military air base chief here,
Commodore Toto Rijanto, refused to comment when asked about the
crash. (23/aan)
