An historic jet plane has crashed into a hangar and exploded in a fireball at an airshow near Madrid, killing the plane's pilot.
A spokesman for Spain's Defence Ministry says the experienced jet pilot, Ladislao Tejedor Romero, 35, died of his injuries in the serious burns unit of Getafe hospital.
Some 3,000 people were at Cuatro Vientos airfield watching a showcase of aerial acrobatics and vintage aircraft when the plane crashed.
The impact sent a fireball and thick black smoke billowing into the air.

RIP
Very sad. sometimes, the "cowboys" of the air over stretched the plane's performance with disastrous results.
RIP Pilot.
