Wichita State Plane Crash Raises FAA Scrutiny
The Wichita State University football team used a Martin 404 plane that had been in storage in Las Vegas for three years. The craft veered off a runway near Denver after a takeoff from Oklahoma City while en route to West Texas State, possibly flying into a canyon and crashing near the Continental Divide. Officials weighed the plane at about 48,900 pounds, exceeding the model’s 44,900-pound limit, as investigation focuses on licensing and safety regulation gaps.
