A twin-engine six-seater training aircraft crash landed at sea along the coastal boulevard of Sinunuc early Tuesday, July 7, after it suffered engine trouble a few minutes after it took off from the Zamboanga International Airport here. Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP-Zamboanga) General Manager Antonio Alfonso said the training aircraft, a white piper plane Seneca with body number RP C-834, arrived in this city at 7:30am, delivering another training aircraft for Southern City Colleges. After almost two hours, at 9:30 a.m., the plane left ZIA enroute to Dumaguete City with three foreigners on board and a Filipino.
