ANKARA - A military fighter pilot has died in a crash in western Turkey, an official said.
The governor of Balikesir province said the F-16 pilot did not survive Tuesday's crash during a training flight. The jet had taken off from a base in the province.
Selahattin Hatipoğlu said Wednesday the plane went down near the town of Mustafakemalpaşa in the neighboring province of Bursa. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
Balikesir is a hub for Turkish jets, which often engage with Greek warplanes in the disputed air space of the Aegean Sea.
