[Ilkka Mäkelä 980]

Entinen Red Bull Air Race-pilotti Mike Mangold on saanut surmansa L39 Albatros-harjoitushävittäjän sytyttyä tuleen ja pudottua maahan melkein heti lentoonlähdön jälkeen eilen Victorvillessä, Kaliforniassa. Koneessa olleen toisen, myös menehtyneen henkilön henkilöllisyyttä ei ole ilmeisesti vielä kerrottu.

 

A world-famous aerobatics champion for Red Bull has died in a jet crash at a Southern California desert airport on Sunday that killed both people on board.

 

Mike Mangold, 60, of Victorville, California has been identified as the pilot of the small jet that crashed and burned after taking off around 2pm at the Apple Valley Airport in San Bernardino County, the Victor Valley News reported.

 

The other victim in the crash has not been identified.
