Guna (MP): Two pilots were injured after a trainer aircraft belonging to a private aviation academy crashed at an airstrip in Madhya Pradesh’s Guna district on Sunday, police said.
The two-seater Cessna 152 plane crashed at around 1.30 pm, possibly due to engine failure, after remaining airborne for 40 minutes, Guna Cantt police station in-charge Dileep Rajoria said.
Two pilots on board the plane suffered injuries but were out of danger and have been admitted to a hospital here, he said.
The plane arrived here a few days ago for testing and maintenance, the official said.
