Rockwell AC11 single-engine airplane. The NTSB is investigating.

The Covington Police Department said that a single-engine aircraft had taken off from the Covington Municipal Airport at approximately 11:21 p.m. on Saturday. The airport lost communication with the aircraft around 20 minutes later. Officers then located the crashed plane in woods near to the runway. Two people were in the plane, who were pronounced dead at the scene.

Covington Municipal Airport, is located to the east of downtown Atlanta and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the primary hub of Delta Air Lines, which handled more than 750,000 aircraft operations in 2024.



In April 2022, a Cessna 340 aircraft which took off from Covington Municipal Airport crashed into a storage yard near to a General Mills' Covington plant. The plane crashed around half a mile from the runway of the Covington Airport.

I wonder if someone is keeping track of the aviation body count under the Trumpf/Musk regime.
