NEW DELHI (AFP) - An Indian air force plane crashed on Thursday killing the pilot and a girl on the ground, an official said, two days after a similar accident involving a Soviet-era MiG-21 fighter aircraft. The UK-designed Jaguar crashed after taking off from an airbase in the northern town of Gorakhpur, 650km from New Delhi, air force spokesman Amit Mahajan told AFP by telephone. Debris from the plane killed the girl, Mahajan said. "Two Jaguars were engaged in a low-altitude training sortie and the one behind saw the other one crashing and it reported the incident," he said.
