Just heard on the news a 22 yr old Lufthansa pilot on a training flight out of a facility near here in Phoenix was killed in a crash. Looking for more details.
I guess one of the sheriffs deputies found the wreckage. Nothing about it on the net that I can find yet

Wreckage near Buckeye may be missing training plane

The wreckage of a small plane has been found in a remote desert area south of Buckeye and a sheriff official said it may be that of a missing Beechcraft Bonanza that disappeared Wednesday.
The wreckage was spotted by a Maricopa County sheriff's helicopter crew, who were searching for the overdue plane.
The missing plane belongs to Lufthansa. The German airline has a pilot training facility at Goodyear Airport.
Chagolla says Lufthansa called the sheriff's office Wednesday evening about 6:30 to report one of its small planes was overdue. Only the pilot was aboard.
The wreckage found about 12:30 a.m. Thursday. Chagolla says there were no sign of survivors.
It was decided to wait until daybreak for sheriff's crews to drive to the scene.
