 Antlers (AP) - Law enforcement officers recover the body of a Houston man who
was aboard an airplane that crashed in a heavily wooded area near Antlers
Municipal Airport.
Search dogs found 62-year-old Charles J Howard just before 4 PM about 500 feet
from the aircraft's main fuselage.
Trooper Kera Philippi says the rugged terrain kept law enforcement officers from
finding Howard sooner.
Howard and three others were aboard the twin-engine Aero Commander when it went
down in rainy weather Sunday on a flight from Oklahoma City's Wiley Post Airport
to Orlando, Florida, where the men were to attend the National Business Aviation
Association convention.
Troopers say Howard was piloting the plane and 48-year-old Jon Peter Olsen --
his son-in-law -- was the co-pilot. Also killed were 49-year-old Perry Keith
Price of Oklahoma City and 60-year-old Albert Wayne Radko of Yukon.
The airplane was registered to Olsen -- a Hitchcock, Texas, resident -- a pilot
who was certified as a flight instructor. Price worked at the service center of
Wiley Post Airport.
End Story
NOTE: A Pathfinder Search and Rescue dog team located
the remains.
