BILLINGS – Authorities
said Jan. 13 that four men from Billings died in a small-plane crash over the
weekend in southern Montana.
The coroner
identified the pilot as David Healow, 69, and his passengers as Rusty Jungles,
36, Mikel Peterson, 35 and Raymond Rumbold, 32, Yellowstone County Sheriff Mike
Linder said in a statement.
Their bodies
were recovered from the wreckage of the single-engine Cessna 182 that crashed on
Jan. 11. They were taken to the state morgue in Billings for autopsies.
The Federal
Aviation Administration said the plane crashed north of Billings after
apparently hitting a cable on an antenna tower on a mountain.
Investigators
from the sheriff’s office, the National Transportation Safety Board and the FAA
spent most of the day at the crash site near Dunn Mountain, Linder said.
