A plane went down shortly after takeoff at the Culver Academies (IN73) this afternoon. A friend of mine called to ask me about it, but I had not heard anything. They have several Cherokees and Warriors...I'm not sure which aircraft this is, but I'll make some calls tomorrow.
The majority of the time they use a grass strip. The departure takes you over a golf course and then over Lake Maxinkuckee. Apparently they lost power and tried to avoid a few trees just before crashing into the lake. I'm not sure if they struck a tree, stalled, etc as of now. If anyone knows more, please feel free to elaborate...
