WITNESSES DESCRIBE PLANE’S CRASH
WORLAND Officials from the Federal Aeronautics Administration gathered evidence but gave on cause of a plane crash here Saturday.
The crash took the life of pilot Fred Arbuckle, a Worland High School Guidance Counselor.
The plane, a Cessna 195, hooked a wing tip and nosed into the ground just off the runway of the airport here, according to two witnesses to the crash.
Claude Tyrel and Bill Busch, both employees of Sky Aviation at World, said they were working in a hangar Saturday when Arbuckle took off with the plane.
Just before the plane was airborne, they said, they heard the engine fail, then it kicked on again, and the pilot took the plane off.
They heard the engine fail twice again, then catch and run, before they saw the plane bank to turn toward the end of the airport’s asphalt surfaced runway, the witnesses said.
They then saw the wing tip hit the ground and the plane nosed into the arts, they said.
