was on an instructional flight when it went down, killing the student pilot, the instructor and two passengers, according to a preliminary report released Wednesday by the National Transportation Safety Board.
The victims, all from Connecticut, were identified as Delilah Van Ness, 15, of Middletown; Paul Pelletier, 55, of Columbia; Frank Rodriquez, 88, of Lebanon, and Susan Van Ness, 51, of Middletown, police said. The four-seat, single-engine Piper aircraft took off from the Windham Airport in Connecticut at about 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 8 for a roughly two-hour flight to Basin Harbor Airport in Ferrisburgh, police said. The aircraft landed and the four people arrived for a brunch reservation at Basin Harbor, a resort on Lake Champlain. They left the restaurant shortly after noon to fly back to Connecticut, police said.
A witness recorded a video of the plane as it departed and rolled down the runway but did not capture its takeoff, the NTSB report said. The airplane crashed in a wooded area about 375 feet east of the end of a runway, according to the report.
