The 20-year-old pilot of a fatal plane crash that killed everyone on
board was a licensed pilot who had dreams of fighting forest fires.
Toronto-resident Marko Misic was piloting the Cessna 172 on Friday when
it crashed near Moorefield, Ont., about 150 kilometres northwest of
Toronto.
Provincial police identified Misic and the three other young victims of
the crash on Sunday. All were from the Greater Toronto area and all
were Bombardier interns.
Passengers Mohammed Shahnawaz Zia, 23, Wasay Rizwan, 27 and Victoria
Margaret Luk, 19, all died after the small plane crashed in a cornfield.
Tony Misic told CTV Toronto that his brother always loved airplanes.
“Anything with airplanes he would do. He would study. At 13 he was
telling me what plane was flying up in the sky,” Tony Misic said.
“All the models… he knew everything.”
Tony said his whole family is still struggling to accept the young boy’s death.
“He's like half me. I can't really imagine living without him right
now. It's going to hit me in a while I already know that,” he said.
Marko joined the air cadets at the age of 12 and by 16 had received his
first flying licence. By the age of 19, he got his commercial licence.
The young pilot had even won an award from WestJet for his flight training.
