The Zenith
CH601XL plane, which came down in a field in Bristol Village in
Kenosha County, was found by searchers on Sunday after the two
men were reported to be 20 hours late to the annual Experimental
Aircraft Association Air Show in Oshkosh, Kenosha County
Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Dan Ruth said in a press release.
Investigators do not yet know precisely when the plane crashed,
but believe it went down during the 24-hour period before the
wreckage was found at about noon on Sunday, Ruth said.
Ruth did not identify the men.
No one on the ground was injured, and there was no additional
property damage from the crash, he said.
Several agencies plan to investigate the incident, including the
Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation
Safety Board, he said.
