Pilot killed in Co Offaly aircraft crash

06 May 2004 15:57
A young Air Corps pilot was killed during a training exercise in Co Offaly this afternoon.

The airman was flying a four-seater Cessna when it crashed shortly after take-off in Clonbullogue just before 1pm. The pilot was the only person on board.

The Irish Parachute Club runs an airfield near the village which is used by the air corps parachute section.
 
The dead pilot had been on duty carrying parachutists to and from Baldonnel.

The defence forces will not release the name of the pilot until his relatives have been informed.
