SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) One thing is certain: The twin-engine Beechcraft 58P, N6745V, piloted by Dr. Vaughn Meyer crashed, broke apart, and caught fire in a Sioux Falls neighborhood Christmas night in 2018.
The fiery crash killed Meyer and his wife JoAnn, barely missing homes.
In records from the National Transportation Safety Board updated this month, almost two years later, it still isn’t entirely clear why a mostly healthy, 68-year-old, experienced pilot in an airworthy aircraft in decent weather crashed five miles short of Joe Foss Field.
