Pilot killed in plane crash near airport
Associated Press
MARYSVILLE — Authorities say a pilot was killed when his small plane crashed while trying to go back to a central Ohio airport shortly after taking off.
The State Highway Patrol says 33-year-old Shannon Stage of Marysville attempted to return to the Union County Airport around 10:30 Thursday morning because of a mechanical problem with his plane. But the patrol’s Sgt. Anne Ralston says the 1980 multiengine Beechcraft didn’t make it and crashed in a soybean field near the runway, then burst into flames.
Stage was the only person on board.
Marysville is about 30 miles northwest of Columbus.
