Share

On 26 November, a Robinson R66 helicopter (registered LV-FQJ), piloted by the 71-year-old entrepreneur Gustavo Degliantoni, crashed into the Paraná River, Argentina leading to his tragic demise. The aircraft was carrying three other occupants who received only minor injuries from the accident.

The ill-fated flight unfolded in the vicinity of Villa Ramallo and Ramallo, as the helicopter lost control while hovering over the Paraná River. Witnesses reported earlier sightings of the red Robinson 66 engaged in perilous manoeuvres over a bridge and vehicles. The subsequent descent into the river was accompanied by a resounding impact.

Gustavo Degliantoni, a well-known figure in the Ramallo business community, lost his life in the accident. The remaining occupants, identified as Rubén Calderón (76), Rubén Ojeda (63), and Osvaldo Duome (70), escaped the crash unscathed.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
