A twin engine Piper Navajo has crashed near a house on Jones just south of Cheyenne. The pilot was the only person on the plane and he was killed. It is not known if there was anyone in the home.
In one week? Same airport? If this airport has a maintence facility it needs to be investigated. Also this plane should have been able to fly on one engine unless it had a lot of weight, then again there was only one person. I am a pilot, not twin rated but it should have been able to fly. There have been engine failures in the past where it was not always the engine failure that caused the plane to crash, but it was the pilot's decision making. I will be interested in the NTSB report.
That house is just down the street form where I live.
