Binh Dinh (VNA) – Authorities have established contact with both of the two pilots involved in a military aircraft crash, which occurred during a training flight over Tay Xuan commune in the south central province of Binh Dinh’s Tay Son district on November 6.

According to the Ministry of National Defence, at around 6:45 p.m., rescue teams received information via a mobile phone of Colonel Nguyen Van Son, Commander of Air Force Regiment 940.

Earlier, at approximately 4:30 p.m., Senior Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Hong Quan, the chief flight instructor from the same regiment, had contacted his unit using his mobile phone. He reported that he was on a mountain peak, though the exact location was unclear due to weak mobile signals, and confirmed he was in good health.

Currently, the search and rescue teams are employing advanced technology to locate both pilots and expedite the rescue efforts.

The Yak-130 military aircraft took off from Phu Cat airport at 9:55 a.m for a long-distance and cloud-crossing training session. The accident happened when they tried to land as the landing gear could not be released and their emergency measures did not work. They were able to parachute from the plane at 10:51 a.m at TB2 shooting range in Tay Son district./.
