A-29 Super Tucano Crashes Outside Moody, Pilots Eject | Military.com: An A-29A Super Tucano attack aircraft slated for the Afghan air force crashed in a residential area outside Moody Air Force Base on Monday, but neither the pilots nor residents on the ground were injured, the U.S. Air Force said.
Two pilots from the 81st Fighter Squadron -- who weren't identified and whose nationalities weren't released -- ejected from the turboprop aircraft during a routine training flight around 2:50 p.m. near Homerville, Georgia, the service said in a statement late Monday.
While the aircraft crashed into a residential area, it didn't strike any structures, a spokesman at the base told Military.com on Tuesday morning. Both pilots were taken to the nearby Clinch Memorial Hospital for evaluation and were released, according to the statement.
The U.S. Air Force will investigate the cause of the mishap and release the findings at a later date, the service said.
As of last month, the Afghan air force had trained about 20 pilots to fly eight of the Super Tucanos. The training takes place at Moody.
