He had one other passenger, see below From 'Galway News' The man who was killed in a plane crash in Co Mayo yesterday was from Galway City.He has been named as 51-year-old Markus Casey, an experienced pilot from Dr. Mannix Road in Salthill. Markus had been secretary of Galway Flying Club based in Carnmore and is well-known in aviation circles.
