One pilot killed, another injured after Air Force T-38 crashes in Texas

One pilot has died after an Air Force T-38 Talon crashed Monday afternoon about 14 miles northwest of Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, officials said.
     A second pilot was taken to the Val Verde Regional Medical Center.
     Laughlin Air Force Base and local emergency responders remained at the scene of the crash Monday night.
     The names of the pilots are being withheld until their families are notified.“Our biggest priority at this time is caring for the family and friends of our airmen,” said Col. Michelle Pryor, 47th Flying Training Wing vice commander, in a statement. “We are a close knit family, and when a tragedy like this occurs, every member of the U.S. armed forces feels it. Our people take top priority, and we are committed to ensuring their safety and security.”
