MARCH 11, 2009 – A plane crash on March 6th most likely took the life of its pilot. 70-year-old Steve Froberg was headed to French Valley Airport when his rented Cessna 172 crashed in the Pacific Ocean 35 miles off of Oceanside. Several hours after a boater reported seeing the plane crash, the Coast Guard found some debris in the water. They continued the search the next day, but ceased the efforts by midday. It is believed that Mr. Froberg was the only occupant of the aircraft. The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will continue to investigate the incident. The single-engine Cessna 172 is the same type of plane that crashed on March 7th, injuring three in Camp Pendleton.
