Air Force mourns plane crash victims

The People's Liberation Army Air Force officers and soldiers who were killed in a military plane crash in Guizhou province last week were honored as revolutionary martyrs, the Air Force said on Sunday.

The military plane crashed during a training session on the afternoon of Jan 29. There were no survivors, the Air Force said in a news release, without disclosing the number of fatalities or details of the mission.

The Air Force's Southern Theater honored the victims as revolutionary martyrs on Friday for their contributions to building a stronger, modern Air Force, the release said.
