Nov 20 2017 Vietnam News
According to sources familiar with Captain Trung, he had been sent to the UK as part of a regular flight training program for helicopter pilots at VNH.
According to initial information, the civilian plane had unexpectedly flown into airspace reserved for flight training.
Born in 1985, Captain Trung was regarded as a highly skilled helicopter pilot by his superiors and fellow officers.
He was given the nickname ‘Trung Puma’ after the famous Eurocopter EC225 Super Puma, a long-range passenger transport copter capable of carrying up to 24 passengers, two pilots and a cabin attendant.
The chopper is used for offshore support and VIP passenger transport duties, as well as for public service missions.
The deceased pilot captained multiple offshore survey flights for the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam).
