Henry County Coroner David Johnson said John and Sheri Horn, both 53 of Cedar Falls, Iowa, were killed when the single-engine plane John Horn was piloting crashed in a soybean field north of Colona.
Johnson said the couple were antique aircraft buffs and were flying the 60-year-old Navion from Waterloo, Iowa, to an air show in Southport, N.C. The cause of the crash was not determined Monday, but Johnson noted the area had been foggy at the time of the crash.
Ed Malinowski, an NTSB investigator, said the pilot had been in contact with the traffic control tower at nearby Quad Cities International Airport, but there is no record of any distress call.
