Plane Crash Cause Still Undetermined
Five airmen stationed at Warren Air Force Base died when their C47 crashed during an instrument landing at Cheyenne Municipal Airport. The aircraft missed the runway in rain and overcast as it carried five crew and 15 Air Force Academy cadets from Cheyenne to Grand Forks and then Colorado Springs. Memorial services were planned as investigators work to determine the cause, with a report unlikely for weeks.
