MURRIETTA, Calif. -- Two people were killed Friday when a small airplane crashed after takeoff from a small
airport in southwestern Riverside County, authorities said. The single-engine experimental plane appeared
to lose power and came down in a field north of French Valley Airport, said Stephanie Smith of the Murrietta
Fire Department. Identities of the victims were not immediately known. The crash, which occurred in
the vicinity of businesses and a shopping center, was reported at 11:49 a.m. The aircraft was a Lancair
Legacy, said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor. He did not know the destination of the
flight. The Legacy is a type of plane built from a kit.
