A Spanish Army fighter pilot was killed when his F-18 crashed sparking a forest fire.
The horrific accident occurred in the town of Peralejos in Teruel and the plane is not believed to have been carrying weapons.
The Civil Guard and Firefighters have been called into the area.
Military sources have said that the plane was not carrying any weapons when it crashed.
It was one of the two F-18 jets from Torrejon Air Base in Madrid that crashed.
They were both flying at a low altitude of below 2,000 feet as they conducted a training exercise.
The jets were piloted by a lieutenant and a captain who were based at Zaragoza Air Base.
Spanish Air Force sources told Heraldo that “rescue means have been activated and the pilot is being searched.”
A tribute is planned next Monday in the town of Peralejos for two pilots who died in an accident 40 years ago.
The incident, which occurred on May 4, 1984, led to the deaths of pilots Jose Manuel Hernández Ferri and Gonzalo Antonio Gracia Ramos.
There is a monument in Peralejos to pay tribute to the pilots who lost their lives.
The concrete slab has a painting of the shield of the 12th Wing, the Unit the pilot served in.
The planned memorial will take place at the site of the monument.
