Hang glider pilot killed in crash at Idaho air show
A hang glider pilot participating in an airshow at a U.S. Air Force base in southwestern Idaho has died following a crash.
Officials called off the rest of Saturday’s Gunfighter Skies Air & Space Celebration at Mountain Home Air Force Base about 55 miles southeast of Boise after the crash.
The crash happened at about 1:30 p.m.
Air Force officials say the pilot of the powerless aircraft was flown by helicopter to a local hospital where he died. The pilot’s name hasn’t been released.
The air show is also scheduled for Sunday, but officials haven’t said if those events will be held.
