Pilot has heart attack, lands plane, and dies

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 23 - The pilot of a vintage biplane taking part in shooting for a film on the Austrian Empire's WWI Fallen Soldier had a heart attack Monday but still managed to land the 1930s Tiger Moth before dying and sending it onto the grass of the airstrip in northern Italy.
    The incident happened at the Romeo Sartori Serodrome at Asiago near Vicenza in Veneto.
    The man, 73-year-old Renato Fornaciari, was originally from near Parma but had been resident for some time in Trentino in the far northeast of Italy.
    The plane had been rented for Italian film director Marco Paolini's Never-Never Land, the Real Story of Peter Pan, about an Austroa-Hungarian soldier who died in the 1918 Battle of Monte Grappa and who is buried in the Cima Grappa Shrine.
    On board with Fornaciari was a camerman who was filming some aerial shots. On-land shooting of the biplane had been postponed due to cloudy weather. (ANSA).
