What is it about flying to Puerto Vallarta?
January 21, 2007 | Tags: Airlines, News | Leave a Comment
Yesterday I reported about a Delta plane from Puerto Vallarta that had a near miss in LA. Today, the media is reporting about a Continental flight coming from Puerto Vallarta in which the pilot died during the flight, apparently of a heart attack.
Passengers were first given a PA announcement asking if there was a doctor on board. A few minutes later this was followed up with an announcement asking if there was a pilot on board!
The co-pilot diverted the plane to McAllen, TX and landed the plane without incident.
Straight to the sources: KGBT Channel 4: Plane Diverted To Valley After Pilot Has Heart Attack, Houston Chronicle: Pilot dies in-flight; co-pilot lands jet.Â
