The twin engine Cessna 310 was registered to Competitor Liaison Bureau Inc. of Daytona Beach, said Kathleen Bergen with the Federal Aviation Administration. Competitor Liaison is based in Daytona Beach and registered under the name of William C. France, the late chairman of NASCAR, online records from the Department of State Division of Corporations show. James C. France also is listed as an officer of the company.

A NASCAR official told the Orlando Sentinel that a driver was not on the plane.

The plane was traveling from Daytona Beach to Lakeland when the pilot declared smoke in the cockpit. The pilot was attempting to land at the Orlando Sanford International Airport when the plane crashed about a mile or two north of the airport, Bergen said.

Yep, this wouldn’t have happened if small planes were banned. They should know that a plane is more likely to kill its owners than anyone else. [/sarc]

I think everything should be banned, except a 24/7 live feed into everones livingroom with Pelosi, Kenndey, Reid, Kerry and every other liberal with a “cause” telling us about the world according to them. Wait, we already have that! It’s called the Main Stream Media!
