MANILA, Philippines – An SF-260TP basic trainer aircraft of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) crashed in Pilar, Bataan on Wednesday, January 25. The two pilots on board died in the accident.

While the cause of the accident is being determined, other similar aircraft are grounded as a standard procedure in the investigation.
