AVON PARK, Fla. - A twin-engine plane that crashed near the Avon Park Bombing Range earlier this month killing three people lost a wing midair, the National Transportation Safety Board confirmed Monday.
The preliminary NTSB report said the Cessna "impacted terrain following an in-flight separation of the right wing," November 17. Three people on board the twin engine plane died .
The crew were civilians working as contractors with Special Operations Command out of MacDill Air Force Base. The flight originated out of MacDill Air Force Base Auxiliary Field at Avon Park.
The NTSB reported, "The purpose of the flight was to provide aerial support to an Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) training exercise."
The plane was returning to base, because of deteriorating weather conditions when the wing separated from the fuselage. "Two sections of the right wing were found 800 feet northwest of the main wreckage impact crater," the report said.
None of the victims were from Florida.
