A flight instructor and his student were killed when the 1967 Learjet 24 collided with a building on airport property in Pachuca Mexico - NE of Mexico City.

Re: XB-GHO Learjet 24 crash at airport NE of Mexico City 2-1
Update; (Unofficial)
Aircraft was based at MMPC where the accident took place, and had departed 1 hour earlier on a training flight. Upon landing at MMPC - the aircraft's right wing tank struck the runway and directional control of the Learjet was lost.
The aircraft exited the side of the runway, and struck a stone wall dead on, destroying the Lear - which ended up bouncing off the wall, and burning for 40 minutes beside the runway.
The wall it hit, surrounds a military installation, and where the Lear struck was a Military dog pound - reports are 6 dogs were burned. The photo below is the wall the lear struck - behind it the dog enclosure.
Don't mean to be funny!, but ironic that a this Lear, with this paint burned to the ground!!
