A single-engine Lancair Columbia crashed near a remote Kern County Calif airport and exploded into flames, killing a family of six. The family had flown from Santa Monica Airport to Kern Valley Airport, where the plane crashed Friday upon approach, said a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.
The Lancair Columbia was consumed in a grassfire sparked by the crash, reported shortly after 5:40 p.m., but the one-acre blaze was quickly contained.
The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration were handling the investigation into the cause of the crash. Witnesses said the aircraft appeared to stall.
