Two Men Identified In Kenosha Plane Crash
Two Kentucky men killed in a plane crash where on their way to EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh. The two were identified by the Kenosha County sheriff’s office Tuesday as pilot William Lester Lanman, 69, of Louisville and James Dan Arnold, 43, of Crestwood.
Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office was contacted Sunday morning by Winnebago County authorities about an overdue plane.
The Zenith CH601XL airplane was last known to be on its way to the air show and was about 20 hours overdue.
Kenosha County Sheriff’s deputies immediately began a search for the missing plane — along with the Wisconsin Civil Air Patrol.
A crash site was located just after 12:30 p.m. in a grassy field — several hundred yards south of a home on 60th Street in Kenosha County.
The crash remained under investigation Tuesday by the FEDERAL Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board, according to the release.
