Pilot was alone in plane. Wife alive and not involved in crash.
Doesn’t say whether he kills his wife before this, or whether she died with him in the crash. This is taking life just too seriously. RIP.
Only the pilot died.
This is similar to the 1999 crash in Gaberone.

Isn't the Air Show coming up in May? Would they be able to build a new ATC Tower by then?
