Two Belarussian Air Force pilots were killed yesterday when their SU-27 fighter plane crashed during an aerial acrobatics display at an air show in central Poland, police said.
"The two pilots did not manage to catapult to safety and were killed in the crash but there were no other casualties," said police spokeswoman Agnieszka Humelusz in Radom, a city about 100 km south of Warsaw.
