On Saturday, two people tragically lost their lives in a plane crash in Southern California. The incident occurred shortly after takeoff from Chino Airport when a private Lockheed L12 aircraft crashed into a grass field about 200 yards away from the runway. Firefighters arrived at the scene at approximately 12:35 p.m. and found the aircraft off the runway in flames. The identities of the deceased passengers have not been released yet.
According to officials, a twin-engine Lockheed 12A crashed shortly after departing from Chino Airport in California. The cause of the crash is still under investigation, although there was a fire involved in the incident. Yanks Air Museum, located in Chino, confirmed that one of its aircraft was involved in the crash through a statement on Facebook. The museum expressed gratitude for the patience and respect shown as they deal with this tragic event.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will be conducting an investigation into the crash. As a result, Yanks Air Museum has temporarily closed as they work with authorities and navigate through this difficult time. The safety of aviation is of paramount importance, and incidents like this serve as a reminder of the risks involved in flying.
