TWO Philippine air force aviators were killed in a crash today, while rescuers were searching for another plane that went missing the previous day with six people on board, authorities said.

During a training, the military’s SF260 Marchetti plane plummeted onto a rice paddy in Pilar town near Manila, killing the pilot and another aviator, Bataan province’s police chief Romell Velasco told AFP.
