The pilot who died in a Remembrance Day plane crash south of Quebec City has been identified.
The Quebec coroner’s office has named the victim as 68-year-old Daniel Parent of Saint-Georges, Que.
Parent was taking part in a Remembrance Day commemoration with other pilots when his aircraft went down near the Saint-Georges airport.
The City of Saint-Georges says Parent was a member of the local Beauce flying club, and has offered condolences to his family and the wider aviation community.
The Transportation Safety Board says Parent was flying his single-engine Mooney aircraft in formation with five other planes when the crash occurred.
Spokesperson Nic Defalco says the plane broke away from the others as a planned part of the show, but was unable to rejoin the formation and crashed in a wooded area.
