On Thursday evening, three residents from Grand Island were killed in a plane crash in northwest Ohio.
According to authorities the plane had taken off from Central Nebraska Regional Airport just after noon on Thursday and arrived as planned in Washington, Iowa some two hours later. Around 40 minutes later they took off for Findaly, Ohio, stopping in Fort Wayne en route. However, the plane disappeared from the radar in Paudling County at 6 p.m. when it was at around 5,000 feet. The crash site was about 30 miles east of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and 70 miles southwest of Toledo.
The aircraft, a single-engine, four-seat SR22 Cirrus, was registered to Orthopedics Aviation Service, and piloted by 59 year old Dr. Michael McCarty, of Grand Island. His passengers were 65 year old Wayne Weiss, 65, and his wife, Rosalee 62, also of Grand Island. All died in the crash.
