Parents say captain was an excellent, experienced pilot

THE parents of the captain killed in the Cork air disaster insist he was an excellent pilot and urge people not to blame him for the tragedy.

Jordi Sola Lopez, 31, died with five others when the Fairchild Metroliner aircraft he was in crash landed in heavy fog at Cork Airport last month.

In a report published yesterday, initial findings of the investigation reveal there were no mechanical failures in the aircraft.
