One killed in North Georgia plane crash
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
One person was killed Monday afternoon in a plane crash in North Georgia.
Whitfield County 911 dispatchers got a call about 12:30 p.m. that a small plane with engine trouble was trying to make it to the county’s airport near Dalton, said dispatch supervisor Kevin Day.
The plane crashed about three miles from the airport, near the intersection of Ga. 52 and Ga. 286, Day said.
Day said the pilot was believe to be the only person on board the plane. No one on the ground was injured, he said.
Kathleen Bergen, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration, said preliminary information was that the kit-built Lancair was flying from DeKalb, Ill, to Brooksville, Fla., when it developed engine trouble. The plane is registered to a Sycamore, Ill., man, she said.
