A plane crash in Uganda at least injured two African pilots.  The plane belonging to SorotiCivilAviationFlyingSchool on Monday afternoon crash landed in a bush injuring two pilots who were doing piloting exercises in northern Uganda.

The accident occurred at about 100 meters from GweriSub-county headquarters at midday. The accident according to our informers in Soroti attracted thousands of people to the scene.

The sources in the management of Soroti flying school told journalists that the injured pilots were doing their routine exercises before the plane developed a mechanical problem. The pilots sustained injuries and they were identified by the police as George Mazige and Innocent Shwun. The two pilots completed their course/studies last year who are now training to become instructors since they excelled.

Although some people in northern Uganda allege that the plane might have been shot by the remnants of LRA rebels led by Joseph Kony, the acting director of the academy, Ronald Ladiong says the government is to investigate the accident to ascertain the real cause of the crash.
