Elderly man jumps to his death in birthday flight
An 88 year old man diagnosed with a brain tumor leaped from a rented vintage two seat biplane over a rural California airfield on Monday during a birthday celebration. He removed his safety belt at 300 to 400 feet and stood in the open cockpit before going over the side as the pilot tried to intervene. His son Robert Frost said the flight was arranged to echo his father’s World War II era flying days.
