NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The National Transportation Safety Board says
the surviving pilot of a fatal in-air crash near Lake Buhlow
(BYOO-low) told investigators he tried unsuccessfully to avoid the
other plane.
The NTSB’s preliminary report does not say who was responsible
for the crash, which killed both men in one plane and injured both
people in the other on Oct. 10.
The pilots have been identified elsewhere as 53-year-old Thomas
O’Leary Jr. of Deville and Darrell Newell of Pineville. The report
dated Monday calls them only the lead pilot and wingman.
It says they had planned a low pass and landing at Pineville
Municipal Airport.
Newell told investigators the lead plane banked about 45 degrees
right and he went nose up and rolled quickly to the right, but was
unable to avoid the collision.
