Madrid - A Spanish air force reconnaissance plane crashed last night in bad weather and burst into flames, killing all seven people aboard. The Spanish-built, twin-engine Aviocar plane went down in a rural area of Guadalajara province in central Spain. It had been flying from Moron de la Frontera in the south-west to Zaragoza in the north-east.
The cause of the crash was not immediately known.
It was the second crash involving a Spanish military plane in less than 10 days. On March 13th, two F-18 fighter jets collided in mid-air during night training near Zaragoza, killing one pilot dead and injuring the other.
