A HERO pilot had a fatal heart attack mid-air – but incredibly still managed to safely land his sightseeing helicopter on a volcano before he died.

Igor Kan, 59, fell gravely ill while solo-flying a chopper with three onboard to see the Krasheninnikov volcano in eastern Russia – which erupted this week for the first time in 600 years.

“The pilot died before the arrival of the medical helicopter.

“He felt unwell during the landing on the volcano.”
