By HARRY MISIKOMore by this AuthorDeputy President William Ruto’s pilot, Captain Mario Magonga, has died in a chopper crash in Turkana County. 'EXCEPTIONAL'It was not immediately clear what caused the crash and Mr Onyonka called on the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) to investigate the incident. On his LinkedIn page, Captain Magonga says he was working with KIDL Helicopters based at Wilson Airport in the capital Nairobi. Captain Magonga also worked for Tropic Air Kenya until June 2015, when he left to pursue his flying career. "An exceptional helicopter pilot, Mario has also been the source of strength, laughter and spirit, both in the office and in the air, and we will miss him," Tropic Air says in a June 23, 2015 Facebook post.
