Not a good week for general aviation:
LAKEWAY - The pilot of a small airplane fought for control of his spluttering aircraft above a women's golf tournament Tuesday before it plunged into a luxury home, killing all six people on board, witnesses said.
And let's not miss this one:
OLNEY -- Three people died today when a small plane crashed on takeoff at a North Texas airport, officials said.
Young County Sheriff Carey Pettus said the single-engine plane crashed around 9 a.m. on ranchland near an intersection in Olney. There were no injuries on the ground.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman John Clabes said the plane appeared to crash and burn at the end of the runway at Olney Municipal Airport.
