Car Crash Butler Missouri in Butler, Missouri: A Pacific Aerospace P750 skydiving aircraft carrying 12 people, including the pilot, crashed shortly after takeoff at Butler Memorial Airport in Missouri on June 14. The plane gradually turned left until both wings became perpendicular to the ground, then crashed nose-first into a field about 300 yards from the runway and caught fire. An NTSB preliminary report found no indications of mechanical or engine malfunctions, no fuel contamination, and that the plane was within weight and balance limits. The cause remains under investigation, with a final report expected in one to two years.
