The aircraft, which was being flown by an Iraqi student pilot on a night training mission (162nd Wing), went down east of the Douglas Municipal Airport on the USA-Mexico border.
the 162nd Wing said in a 25 June statement, noting that the aircraft belonged to Iraq and was not one of the many USAF jets assigned to training. “The air force has assembled an interim safety board to investigate the incident,” it adds.
The ministry statement said search teams found the body of Brig. Gen. Rasid Mohammed Sadeeq at the crash site in southern Arizona, the 26.
