Wisconsin man dead following Kentucky plane crash

A Wisconsin man died after his jet crashed in a Kentucky field Sunday afternoon, according to the Graves County, Ky. Sheriff’s Office. Authorities said 70-year-old James Alan Michaels of Dousman was flying an older military-style jet, returning home from a Mississippi air show when he stopped at the Mayfield Graves County Airport to refuel. As the man took off to continue his journey, he radioed that he was coming back to the airport because his jet had an issue. The plane went down in a field and emergency crews found the plane engulfed in flames. According to the sheriff’s office, the man was traveling with his daughter, who was flying in a plane. She returned to the airport and landed safely. The FAA and NTSB were notified of the crash.
