The Salvadoran AF Commandar, Col. Milton Andrade was killed yesterday (Wednesday 01/16) at around 18:10 P.M local time, when the Fouga Magister airplane he was flying, crashed in front of the control tower at Ilopando AB, El Salvador.

Col. Andrade was practising for the upcoming airshow next weekend. This Magistef was one of two reportedly having recently been made flyable again (FAS 510) and was colorfully painted to represent the National Bird, the "Torogoz."
