Associated Press
WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Police say a fighter jet has crashed during an air show in central Poland.
The Su-27 aircraft was performing maneuvers Sunday at the festival in Radom, 65 miles (105 kilometers) south of Warsaw, when it went down.
The plane was not near the tarmac or crowds attending the air show when it crashed.
Footage broadcast on state television showed the plane turning in the air, then dropping behind trees. A cloud of black smoke appeared on the horizon where the plane went down.
Radom police spokesman Taduesz Kaczmarek says the fate of the pilot is not known.
