A training flight ended in tragedy when Air Lieutenant Nesbert Tambudza died in a plane crash near Gweru. The young pilot was flying alone in a Karakorum-8 jet trainer aircraft near the Guinea Fowl area.
Zimbabwe Defence Forces Commander Valerio Sibanda shared news of the crash. He said no one on the ground was hurt, and no buildings were harmed.
Tambudza showed great skill as a pilot. The Air Force picked him for special jet training at Number 2 Squadron, based at Josiah Tungamirai Air Force Base in Gweru. He was almost done with his K-8 jet training when the crash happened.
The plane went down about 5 kilometers east of Guinea Fowl. The impact left the aircraft badly damaged.
Military leaders have started looking into what made the plane crash. They formed a special team to study all parts of this sad event.
The Zimbabwe Defence Forces will tell people later when they plan to hold the funeral for Air Lieutenant Tambudza. Commander Sibanda spoke for all military members when he gave his deep sympathy to Tambudza's family, friends, and fellow service members.
