Search is on for clues to deadly crash of Civil Air Patrol plane

March 24, 2003 By admin

Federal investigators continue to look for the cause of the deadly weekend crash of a Civil Air Patrol plane in eastern Iowa’s Keokuk County. The Cessna 182 took off from the Ankeny Airport on Saturday afternoon and crashed near North English during a routine training flight. The instructor-pilot, 55-year-old chaplain Major Christie Battle of Des Moines, was killed. The pilot, 52-year-old Lieutenant James Johnson of Oskaloosa, was injured but has since been released from University Hospitals in Iowa City. The Civil Air Patrol is an auxiliary of the U-S Air Force and conducts operations involving search and rescue, education and cadet programs.
