Pilot watches vintage plane take off and crash near Sackets Harbor
A 1946 Aeronca single engine plane began moving on its own at a private airstrip near Sackets Harbor New York. It taxied out and disappeared after circling at about 3000 feet toward the northeast. Owner Douglas Youngs and his wife Beverly described his distress as searchers failed to locate the aircraft within ten miles along Lake Ontario shore. State troopers canvassed the area but called off the search without finding the plane or wreckage.

IDOT plans more 55 mph signs near Iowa cities
The Iowa Department of Transportation aims to curb urban speeding after motorist traffic slows only to 58 mph in cities. At a Tuesday Ames meeting the IDOT Commission discussed adding speed signs at 55 mph zones along interstates, while 65 mph is allowed on rural stretches and 85 mph in urban areas. Officials noted urban area designations and the 50 000 population threshold shape limits, with signs to be placed in medians to improve visibility for drivers entering cities.
