Israeli actor and flight instructor Guy Kapulnik, 46, died following a single-engine plane crash in Hesperia, California. The aircraft, an Aeronca Champion, went down in a remote field near the Hesperia Airport.
Kapulnik was piloting the aircraft when the accident occurred. The crash also claimed the life of Taylor Laska, 33, of Santa Monica.
