Eleven people were killed when a sky diving plane crashed on the island of Oahu Friday, the deadliest civilian plane accident in the U.S. since 2015.
Dillingham Airfield is located on the northwest coast of Oahu, the opposite side from the state's capital of Honolulu. The airfield is used for both military and civilian aircraft. The same plane was involved in a near-accident in July 2016, according to a National Transportation Safety Board report. The Beech 65-A90 sustained"substantial damage" while taking of from an airport in Byron, California, but the 14 sky divers and pilot were not injured.
"We have witnesses that say it was inbound so we're not sure right now [whether it left the airfield], we're gathering information," he added.Among those killed was Casey Williamson, an employee of Oahu Parachute Center, which owned the plane.
