The Federal Aviation Administration says one person is dead in the crash of small plane towing a banner near the Farm Progress Show near Boone in central Iowa.
FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory says the Cessna 150 with just the pilot on board crashed about 2 miles north of Boone Thursday morning. She says the plane is registered to Drake Aerial Enterprise in Genoa, Ohio.
Air America Aerial Ads, of Genoa, is also listed on the FAA Registry as another owner. A person who answered the phone declined to comment.
Isham Cory says the National Transportation Safety Board will lead the investigation into the crash, which happened about 9:20 a.m.
A witness, Bob Johnson, reported the banner being towed by the plane got caught in the corn. Johnson says the plane then nose dived into the
ground.
