Eran Peleg, a 75-year-old retired lieutenant colonel and former fighter pilot, died on Friday when the light aircraft he was piloting crashed near Kafr Qara in the Wadi Ara region. A 33-year-old flight student who was with Peleg sustained moderate injuries. The pair had taken off from Megiddo airstrip when a malfunction occurred during the flight, leading to the crash. The aircraft, which was destroyed, crashed in an open area and caught fire. Firefighters worked to control the blaze, which spread to a nearby grove and threatened homes in Kafr Qara. Peleg, a resident of Kfar Saba, had a long career combining aviation and technology, serving as a flight instructor in recent years while also specializing in computers, information systems, and model-driven system development.
