Fatal jet crash warning

A 70-year-old Wisconsin pilot, James Alan Michaels, died when his L-39 Albatros jet crashed and caught fire in a field near Mayfield, Kentucky, on Sunday, Nov. 8. Michaels had reported trouble shortly after takeoff while flying alongside his daughter, who was in a separate jet; authorities said he tried to return or land in an open field before the aircraft struck a ditch. The NTSB is investigating, with a final report expected in 12 to 24 months.
