Two Mexican military aviators were killed Wednesday morning in an Mexican Navy airplane crash in Baja California Sur, in Mexico, according to Mexican news accounts.
According to a news account posted on the website of Proceso news weekly, the men who died were identified as Mexican Navy Lieutenant Commander Adrian Ignacio Gonzalez Vargas, and Mexican Air Force Major Alfonso Barajas Jesus Verduzco. Both men were flight instructors.
According to the report, the two military men were on a training mission aboard a Moravan Zlin 242L single engine aircraft at about 1130 hrs when the aircraft crashed. The location of the crash was 36 kilometers southeast of La Paz, Baja California Sur.
The pilot and passenger were flying out of the naval aviation school in La Paz, part of the Mexican 2nd Naval Zone. The aircraft was destroyed in the crash.
Somebody forget to fuel up the plane?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about the unfortunate event, but, what has this story have to do with anything in respect to the drugwar, other than the deceased being military? just asking..
ReplyDeleteThat's the thing it has absolutely nothing to do with the drug war unless they were flying in an operation, whether they were doing recon work or bombing someone.
DeleteTheir training exercises were probably drug war-related
DeleteBombing?? Mexico doesn't go on bombing raids. This is not the Middle East
DeleteThey had corporal doofus in charge of refueling the plane......turns out he was smoking a joint and forgot to do so....RIP SIRS

ReplyDeleteThis is not drug war news, GREAT JOB THOUGH DON'T GET ME WRONG!! But we come here for drug news not mexicos CNN lol jk.
ReplyDeletethose single engine sesna things allways crashing.
ReplyDeleteDo the cartels ever shoot down aircraft?
ReplyDeleteSad for sure, it made the local news here. But it had nothing to do with narco. I really don't know why anyone would fly in single engine plane. Or with one pilot.
ReplyDeleteYou start by piloting single engine aircraft in aviation because they're small and they are the most common.. Have you ever seen a private or non-commercial craft before?
DeleteThey were both flight instructors,one navy the other Air Force....we are told they were on a training mission,training for what?
ReplyDeleteEvery nation on earth includes in its casualty counts for war accidental deaths. Accidental deaths are a separate category, but they are always included in the death toll of war.
