September 02, 2010 12:49 EDT
BOONE, Iowa (AP) -- The Federal Aviation Administration says one person is dead in the crash of small plane towing a banner near the Farm Progress Show near Boone in central Iowa.
FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory says the Cessna 150 with just the pilot on board crashed about 2 miles north of Boone Thursday morning. She says the plane is registered to Drake Aerial Enterprise in Genoa, Ohio.
Isham Cory says the National Transportation Safety Board will lead the investigation into the crash, which happened about 9:20 a.m.
The Boone News-Republican, which has a reporter on the scene, says officials used a tractor to plow through the corn to reach the crash site.
KCCI-TV says a witness, Bob Johnson, reported the banner got caught in the corn. Johnson says the plane then nose dived into the ground.
