Polish F-16 jet crashes killing pilot ahead of air show

A Polish F-16 fighter jet crashed Thursday while preparing for an air show in the central city of Radom, killing the pilot, a government spokesperson said. No one on the ground was injured in the crash. Videos published by Polish media showed the aircraft performing an acrobatic manoeuvre before crashing onto the runway in a ball of fire. The Radom air show, about 62 miles south of Warsaw, is scheduled to take place this weekend.
