Lufthansa pilot Killed in crash.

Postby bbstackerf » Thu Feb 02, 2006 7:06 pm

Just heard on the news a 22 yr old Lufthansa pilot on a training flight out of a facility near here in Phoenix was killed in a crash. Looking for more details.

I guess one of the sheriffs deputies found the wreckage. Nothing about it on the net that I can find yet

Keni :(

Wreckage near Buckeye may be missing training plane

Associated Press
Feb. 2, 2006 08:05 AM


The wreckage of a small plane has been found in a remote desert area south of Buckeye and a sheriff official said it may be that of a missing Beechcraft Bonanza that disappeared Wednesday.

The wreckage was spotted by a Maricopa County sheriff's helicopter crew, who were searching for the overdue plane.

The missing plane belongs to Lufthansa. The German airline has a pilot training facility at Goodyear Airport.  

Chagolla says Lufthansa called the sheriff's office Wednesday evening about 6:30 to report one of its small planes was overdue. Only the pilot was aboard.

The wreckage found about 12:30 a.m. Thursday. Chagolla says there were no sign of survivors.

It was decided to wait until daybreak for sheriff's crews to drive to the scene.
