An Argentina flight instructor allegedly opened the plane’s door and jumped mid-flight after telling his student to “carry on,” leaving her to fly solo

An interaction between a student pilot and his late flight instructor in Argentina has caught international headlines for unlikely reasons. Local investigators believe that Leandro Andrés Bertazzo, 42, jumped out of a Cessna 150 over Toledo, a town in the central province of Córdoba.

According to TMZ, Bertazzo told his 22-year-old student, Rosario, “You know what you have to do, carry on.” Reportedly, he then removed his headset, put away his phone, unbuckled his three-point seat belt, opened the plane door — and jumped from about 850 feet to his death.
