Two killed in Tennessee plane crash bound for I.C.

WINCHESTER, Tenn. (AP) - A small airplane crashed into a southern Tennessee mountainside, killing the two people aboard.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeman Lynn Lunsford said a "home-built" Glasair III crashed about 1:40 p.m. EDT Friday into the side of Keith Springs Mountain in Franklin County.

Lunsford said another plane that was in the same area at the time landed. Franklin County Sheriff Tim Fuller told WTVF-TV that the other plane landed in north Alabama.

Hank Williamson, manager of the Shelbyville Municipal Airport, said a flight plan showed the plane was traveling from an airport in Daytona Beach, Fla., with a stop at Shelbyville, en route to Iowa City, Iowa.

Officials said late Friday afternoon that they had identified the two and were notifying relatives. The names would be released later.

The site was some six miles from the Alabama line.
