Plane crash, body recoveries
Authorities
asked for RMRUs assistance with a body
recovery. A light plane crash days earlier had
been found in hilly terrain near Corona. The
recovery was quickly carried out.
Additional
Note: The NTSB report (LAX97FA142)
indicated that the pilot, who was very
experienced, was flying at night with the freeway
lights on the his side of the plane and the hilly
terrain on the passenger side. The pilot failed
to contact the air traffic controller to ask for
an instrument guided flight when he entered
clouds. The plane struck the terrain on the
passenger side.
