”Top Gun” filming instructor killed in plane crash during US air show

During an air show in the United States, an airplane crashed and the pilot died. The pilot was reportedly a veteran pilot who had been in charge of flight training for the actors in the movie "Top Gun."
On the 21st (local time), foreign media such as the Associated Press and ABC News reported that the aircraft was performing aerobatic maneuvers at the Aerospace Expo held at Las Cruz Airport in New Mexico, USA, on the afternoon of the 20th.
A light aircraft crashed, killing the pilot, Charles Thomas "Chuck" Coleman.
Coleman is a veteran with over 3,000 appearances at hundreds of air shows.
He was a pilot for the 2022 film "Top Gun: Maverick." At the time, Coleman was a pilot for the U.S. Navy fighter jets.
When news of Coleman's death was announced, Miles Teller, one of the actors who appeared in the movie "Top Gun," said,
"Coleman played an important role in the filming of 'Top Gun,'" he said on his social media. "We were always able to trust and rely on him. It's an untimely farewell, but we will always remember him fondly."
"Thank you for your continued support," he said. Since Coleman's plane crash, the air show has been canceled and local authorities are investigating the circumstances of the crash.
