Federal officials are investigating after a single-engine plane crash Saturday at the Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport that killed the pilot.

Dale Snodgrass was the lone occupant of the SIAI-Marchetti fixed-wing aircraft when it crashed around noon during takeoff, according to a news release from airport Manager Michael Isaacs. Snodgrass’s age and hometown were not listed.

The aircraft came down in a field and caught fire just off the airport’s taxiway Charlie, according to Lewiston Fire Department Chief Travis Myklebust.

Never heard of the tribe, so it wasn’t a giveaway as far as I was concerned at least. 🙂

Why should everyone have to Google to get more information to understand the article. The poster should identify it when posting.

I think many posters don't realize that people like to know what and where the article is talking about, so they just do not think about that. Perhaps they didn't really think about it, because they knew, so it never occurred to them. I mean the possibilities are many. 🙂

But yes, I agree the poster should identify the location of the event being talked about in an article.

Or is it the Fugarwe tribe? 🙂

Isn't that why they named themselves that, because they never knew where the firetruck they were? 🙂

I didn’t know it but he was onboard America when I was back in 77-78. In his earlier days he was in F-142 Ghostriders squadron attached to our air wing. I was a ships company Machinist Mate 77-80. The famous fly-by he made came 10 years later in his career. RIP Shipmate.

I just heard about Snodgrass, what a shame. I met him when he flew Jim Read’s F4U.
