Patrulla Aguila soloist killed in crash near San Javier

The solo pilot of Patrulla Aguila was sadly killed today as his jet crashed into the sea near San Javier, the team's base. It's the third fatal crash of a C-101 from San Javier in just seven months - one of which tragically claimed the life of a former Patrulla Aguila soloist who had recently left the team. The Spanish AF have confirmed in the past few minutes that the pilot did not actually eject, although I don't believe we know for certain yet whether it was a Patrulla Aguila sortie or a general training flight, as the team's pilots are also full-time instructors.
