Pilots killed in fighter jet crash at Polish air show

WARSAW (AP) A Belarusian fighter jet crashed Sunday during an air show in central Poland, killing both pilots, officials said.

The two-seat Su-27 jet was performing maneuvers at the festival in Radom, 65 miles south of Warsaw, when it went down.

Two Belarusian pilots on board were killed in the crash, the air show's organizers said in a statement. The cause of the crash was under investigation.

The Su-27 was not near the tarmac or crowds attending the air show when it crashed.

Footage broadcast on state television showed the plane turning in the air, then dropping behind trees. A cloud of black smoke then appeared on the horizon.

The jet was one of two Belarusian planes taking part in the show, said Andrzej Sikorski, a spokesman for Poland's air force. The other aircraft was a transport plane.
