Hero hijack pilot Richard Levy dies at 88

LONDON – Reginald Levy, a pilot praised for his cool-headed 

bravery during a 1972 hijacking by Palestinian militants, has died at

 the age of 88, his daughter said Thursday.

Linda Lipschitz said her father died Sunday in Dover, southern 

England, of a suspected heart attack or blood clot.

Levy was a pilot for Belgian airline Sabena when he took off from

Brussels bound for Tel Aviv on May 8, 1972 — his 50th birthday — 

with 90 passengers onboard. Mid-journey, the Boeing 707 was

 hijacked by four armed members of the group Black September, who

 ordered Levy to land at Israel's Lod — now Ben Gurion — airport

and threatened to blow up the plane if Israel did not release more than 

300 Palestinian prisoners.Continue
