(Des Moines)– Federal Aviation officials say a small plane that crashed in a corn field in northwest Iowa, killing all three Wisconsin men on board, was low on fuel.
In a report last week, the National Transportation Safety Board says the single-engine piper had two 25-gallon fuel tanks. After the crash, investigators drained one cup of fuel from the tank under the left wing and two and-a-half cups from the tank under the right wing.
The plane crashed June 23rd near Sheldon.
The three men on board-Francis Allegretti, of Cambridge, Wisconsin, Thomas Boos, of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin and Malcolm McMillan of Milton, Wisconsin-were flying from Fort Atkinson to South Dakota on a hunting trip.
