Local city officials confirmed that three pilots were killed when a Gulfstream GIV crashed on landing at Le Castellet Airport (LFMQ) in the south of France. The accident happened at just before 3 p.m. local time on July 13.

A short statement from the prefecture of Le Castellet said that there were no passengers on board the long-range business jet and that the three killed were American pilots, two men (aged 24 and 61) and a 30-year-old woman.
