U.S. Navy officials say an instructor and a student pilot have died in a plane crash in southeastern Tennessee.
The T-45 Goshawk training jet crashed during low level training on Sunday afternoon in Tellico Plains, about 45 miles southwest of Knoxville.
The T-45 Goshawk is a tandem-seat, carrier capable, jet trainer whose mission is to train Navy and Marine Corps pilots, according to the U.S. Navy fact file online.
Lt. Liz Feaster said Monday that the names of the two who died are being withheld until 24 hours after family members are notified.
