They all landed on a highway about 160 kilometres further south, except for Naville, prompting emergency services to launch a search.<\/p>\n<p>His body was found in a bushland near the landing site on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Pierre was a passionate pilot and, among other things, did a lot to open and develop the site of Talloires, in Annecy, to become one of the reference flying sites in France. He was a recognized character in the paragliding world both in France and internationally and will be sadly missed. Our condolences go to his wife, family and many friends around the globe.<\/p>\n<p>*Photos: Facebook<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well-known French paraglider pilot and instructor, Pierre Naville husband of the female world champion Seiko Fukuoka, passed away in an accident during a distance flight in Australia, where he was chasing records<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10476,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[524],"tags":[1469,547,1468,1204],"class_list":["post-10481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-paragliding","tag-france","tag-paragliding","tag-pierre-naville","tag-seiko-fukuoka-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10481"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10481\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10486,"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10481\/revisions\/10486"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ojovolador.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
