GALT, Mo. (AP) - National investigators say a pilot ignored warnings about ice and bad weather before his small plane crashed in northern Missouri last month, killing him and his passenger.
The crash on Feb. 8 near Galt in Grundy County killed 82-year-old Philip Joseph LeFevre III, of Glendale, and 47-year-old Philip Joseph LeFevre IV, of Sunset Hills.
The National Transportation Safety Board's preliminary report says the single-engine Cessna was covered with ice when it landed in Moberly.
The pilot asked for help to de-ice the plane but dismissed suggestions that the men stay in Moberly until the weather improved. The report does not say which of the men was the pilot.
