An Iraqi pilot conducting flight training out of Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, AZ, was killed in a crash on Tuesday.

Maj. Noor Faleh Rassan Al-Khazali was killed when he crashed an F-16 he was piloting Tuesday afternoon in Arizona, the Iraqi military said in a statement.

The aircraft was reportedly owned by Iraq.

A photo taken by local news appeared to show an intact canopy, indicating an ejection may have been attempted.
