“It was a two-seat training aircraft. As a result of the accident … two crew members were killed,” Ali Hemmati, deputy governor of the Garmsar in Semnan province, told Fars News Agency.
The incident occurred at 9 am, 300-500 metres from the local Aflak Airport of Eyvanakey.
Captain Majid Fathinejad, 51, and a female trainee named Hosseininejad were killed in the incident, according to a Red Crescent official.
