A statement from the San Javier Air Show said: “We are heartbroken to learn of the fatal accident involving aerobatic pilot Olivier Masurelis at the Air Festival.

The accident happened after the end of the festival, minutes before he was returning to his destination.

A vulture crashed into his cabin and he was killed. The accident happened after the end of the festival, minutes before he was returning to his destination. Our condolences to his family and friends on this sad loss.

Flying was Olivier’s passion and this fatal accident cost him his life. Fly high, dear Olivier.”

Matilla de los Canos A spokesman for the Valladolid airport, noting that Olivier was going to Quatro Vientos airport in Madrid and not their airfield as originally reported, said: “We are very saddened by the loss of Olivier. He was loved and respected by everyone, this was his second home. Rest in peace Olivier.”

The air show was reportedly attended by hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom were left with the strange realization that they had seen the star’s last appearance.

One viewer said: “We’re on a rollercoaster of emotions right now. A few hours ago at the festival we felt the excitement of the acrobatics of the pilots, and now we have a lump in our throat after hearing this tragic news. Not sure why we had the honor of enjoying Olivier’s last performance before his top tour. Rest in peace”.

Jim Bourke, owner of US-based Southeast Aero Services, said: “My friend, I’m sorry it’s your turn. I hate it very much for your sake and for the sake of all who loved you. I bet everyone who knew you is heartbroken because there just aren’t many people as funny as you in the world.

But I think about all the great memories I have of you and all the fun pictures we took together and all the great meals we ate and all the stories about our time together.

To those who didn’t know him, Olivier was witty and charming, with a strong work ethic and polite demeanor. Of course he was a fantastic pilot, but he was so humble and selfless that you never heard a word from him about his talent.

He was one of those people who simply demanded perfection from himself and everyone who worked with him, but always found a way to frame advice and criticism in a supportive way.”

The aircraft caught fire after impacting the ground near road CM-3012, killing the pilot and sole occupant of the aircraft.

A spokesman for the regional government’s emergency coordination center said: “Firefighters from Alcázar de San Juan were called after the light aircraft crash. The aircraft caught fire after impacting the ground near road CM-3012, killing the pilot and sole occupant of the aircraft.”

The air show started on Friday, May 3rd and ended on May 5th.
