The Story
Quebec’s coroner’s office has identified the pilot who died in a Remembrance Day plane crash south of Quebec City as 68-year-old Daniel Parent of Saint-Georges, Que.
Police said one person died after a plane crash near the Saint-Georges airport at around 11 a.m. on Remembrance Day.
The coroner’s office said Parent was taking part in a Remembrance Day commemoration with other pilots when his aircraft went down.
The City of Saint-Georges said Parent was a member of the local Beauce flying club, and it offered condolences to his family and the wider aviation community.
The Transportation Safety Board said Parent was flying a single-engine Mooney aircraft in formation with five other planes. TSB spokesperson Nic Defalco said the plane broke away from the others as a planned part of the show, but was unable to rejoin the formation and crashed in a wooded area.
