Iranian Army's Pilatus Trainer Aircraft Crashes, Crew Injured
The Pilatus PC-7 Turbo Trainer aircraft of the Iran's army crashed in the central province of Isfahan Sunday, Tasnim news agency reported.
The trainer plane crashed due to a technical problem near the village of Zafarqand, along a road between the cities of Naeen and Ardestan on June 5.
The aircraft's pilot and co-pilot were injured in the incident. The PC-7 light trainer aircraft belonged to an air force base near the central city of Isfahan.
