Crash M20 in Indiana

There was a possible CFIT accident involving what was thouht to be a Mooney M20 .

ALBANY, Ind. — A single-engine plane crashed into an Indiana cornfield Wednesday after the pilot, who was seen slumped over at the controls, lost consciousness and the aircraft flew out of control, officials said.
Military officials do not believe the crash was terrorism-related but instead said the pilot may have had a health problem or been suffering from a lack of oxygen. F-16s under direction of U.S. North American Aerospace Defense Command intercepted the plane and followed it for about an hour until it crashed.
Indiana State Police Sgt. Rod Russell said the pilot, who was the only person aboard the plane, died in the crash but that the pilot's name would not be released until the body is positively identified. No one on the ground was injured when it crashed.
David Lykins, 54, of Muncie said he and his nephew were doing construction work on a nearby home when they saw the plane, its wings pointed down, fly in three circles overhead before it clipped some trees and crashed into the field.
"That's when all the debris started flying and a big puff of smoke came up," he said.
Lykins said he called 911 while his nephew ran ahead through the cornfield to reach the plane, which was engulfed in flames and clouds of smoke.
The plane departed from Grand Rapids, Mich., and then flew north to Traverse City, Mich., said FAA spokesman Tony Molinaro in Chicago. It turned around in Traverse City was flying back to Grand Rapids when it lost communication with ground air traffic controllers, Molinaro said.
The plane crashed about 12:40 p.m. EDT in a field in a rural area of eastern Indiana, about 60 miles northeast of Indianapolis and 185 miles south of Grand Rapids, NORAD said. John Erickson, a spokesman for the Indiana Department of Homeland Security, said the aircraft crashed on its own.Read more at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/30/indiana-plane-crash-pilot_n_304516.html
