The accident happened this Monday (10) in the morning where the Arraiá Aéreo took place this weekend in Bauru (SP). The causes are under investigation, but unfortunately what the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) is saying is that the pilot Igor Reis, on board the aircraft, could not resist and died charred.
The aircraft was an Acro Sport 2 model, known as the “Red Baron”, which according to reports had fallen on its nose. The Accident Investigation and Prevention Center (Cenipa) is already on site.
Igor was 51 years old, was from the ACRO squadron and had experience in aerobatics, even though aviation was his hobby and not his main profession. He had entered aviation at the age of 16, and since 2021 he has taken aerobatics classes to increase flight safety.
The festival was organized by astronaut and senator Marcos Pontes and was one of the biggest in the country.
