COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The Federal Aviation Administration says three people were killed when a small plane crashed in a field in central Ohio.

Ohio State Patrol Lt. Tony Bradshaw says the twin-engine aircraft crashed in Pickaway County near the town of Lockbourne after taking off from Rickenbacker Airport around 12 p.m. Monday.

FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory says the plane was headed to Mansfield.

Bradshaw says the aircraft was a 1956 Convair 580 owned by Air Tahoma.

The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash.

Rickenbacker Airport, about 16 miles south of Columbus near the border of Franklin and Pickaway counties, serves as a cargo hub and has a charter passenger terminal.

I've been reading about how awful these guys are on this message board for YEARS. I had honestly thought they were shut down since I hadn't seen a thread on them in such along time.

Sorry to hear that, It was an absolutely beautiful evening. My prayers go out to their families.

I swore I would never respond to another Air Tahoma thread, but I must say my prayers go out to the families. I did not know the guys in the crash, two of them were aparently new people or had not been there very long. The airplane came there after I left in '04 so I had not as much as even seen it.

The Rude crew has lost four crewmembers in four years... that is four too many. I trust this one is not so easilly swept under the rug....

RIP guys, pilots dying seems to follow the Rudes...

Sean was with us at Amerijet as an FE. He left just last week for Air Tahoma in search of some right seat time.

Godspeed brother.
