Report: 2 killed when private plane
crashes in Greene County
May 9, 2008
SNOW HILL, N.C.‹Two people were killed
Thursday when a homebuilt airplane crashed in Greene County,
authorities said.
Patty McQuillan, spokeswoman for the
state Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, said emergency
officials reported that the pilot said he had icing on the wings. The
plane disappeared from radar and lost radio contact, she said.
The accident occurred about 1:30 p.m.
Thursday, said Kathleen Bergen, spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation
Administration in Atlanta. The plane crashed in a farm field several
hundred feet from a residential area near Snow Hill, located about 20
miles southwest of Greenville.
It was headed from Page Field in Fort
Myers, Fla., to Hartford-Brainard Airport in Connecticut, Bergen
said.
The FAA Web site indicates the plane was
a Lancair IV-P, a homebuilt, amateur plane completed in
2003.
Both the FAA and the National
Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash, Bergen said.
The Civil Air Patrol also was called because the incident was first
reported as a missing aircraft, McQuillan said.

Subject: [LML] Lancair IV down?
I just ³heard² that a Lancair IV
went down today (Thursday). I was ³told² that it
³disintegrated at 15,000¹ (whatever that is supposed to mean).
I believe I was told the number was N101BG. Any
news?
