Local NewsNTSB: Plane Low on Fuel in Deadly CrashDES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Federal aviation officials say a small plane that crashed in a corn field in northwest Iowa, killing all three Wisconsin men on board, was low on fuel. In a report last week, the National Transportation Safety Board says the single-engine Piper had two 25-gallon fuel tanks. After the crash, investigators drained 1 cup of fuel from the tank under the left wing and 2 1/2 cups from the tank under the right wing. The plane crashed on June 23 near Sheldon in O'Brien County. The three men on board -- Francis Allegretti, of Cambridge, Wis., Thomas Boos, of Fort Adkinson, Wis., and Malcolm McMillan, of Milton, Wis. -- were flying from Fort Adkinson to South Dakota on a hunting trip. ------ Information from: KCAU-TV, http://www.kcautv.com (Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press.
