Air Force Hawk-200 fighter plane crashes at Pekanbaru airport

The plane crashed in an upside-down position at the same spot where another Hawk 200 fighter plane met a similar fate in November 2006.

The accident site lay close to a local residential area in Maharatu village, Marpoyan Damai sub district, Pekanbaru.

Up to now, the Pekanbaru air base had not yet issued any statement regarding the accident. However, an Air Force officer, Major Dede, earlier confirmed that the ill-fated plane was a Hawk 200 but he refused to give more details.
