One Way Flight Ends in Tragic Plane Crash
A stolen single engine Avalon A-2 flown by Robert D. Lively, 25, nosedived after looping near his former girlfriend Billy Joyce Kissinger in Project City. Lively, who had been learning at Enterprise Sky Park in Redding, left a flight plan marked Destination Project City No Return. Despondent over the breakup, he reportedly tried stunt flying for hours before fuel ran out and the craft crashed. His mother noted letters to the girl and plans of marriage, while authorities described the act as a possible suicide-tinged escape.
