Family members have confirmed the pilot of the small aircraft killed in a crash near Baldur, Man. Parsonage, 60, of Baldur, was flying alone in his personal Piper aircraft from Gillam to a private landing strip in the rural municipality of Argyle. After calling off a search Friday night, the plane was found in a wooded area close to the landing strip, near Baldur, around 3:30 p.m. Saturday. He said Parsonage was an avid flyer who had been piloting aircraft "most of his life." Martens says news of the fatal crash has sent shockwaves throughout Baldur, a community of just over 300, roughly 200 km southwest of Winnipeg.
