– A man found dead after crashing a vintage plane he was flying near Minter Field in Shafter has been identified as Sherman Smoot, according to a report by ABC23 out of Shafter.
Central coast veterans took to the skies today in a C-47 aircraft that was used in World War II. The flight was made possible through the help of local organizations.
The flight, featuring a fully restored Douglas C-47 airplane known as Betsy’s Biscuit Bomber, was organized by a collection of nonprofit groups as a way to salute veterans for their service.
