Family of Missing Peruvian Pilot Accuses Air Force of Negligence

A 24-year-old Peruvian Air Force pilot, Ashley Vargas, went missing on May 20th, 2025, during a tactical navigation training mission near Pisco. Her family is now publicly criticizing the Air Force for what they perceive as insufficient search efforts. "The lack of progress in the search and the diminishing presence of the FAP is deeply concerning," stated José Ocampo, the family's lawyer. Adding to the family's frustration, a part of the plane was discovered by a local fisherman a day before the Air Force announced its finding. Despite this setback, the Vargas family remains determined to find Ashley and is demanding a thorough investigation into the incident.
