APRIL 14, 2009 – Two people died in a plane crash at Marine Air Corps Station Miramar on Saturday. An unidentified male and female were aboard the Piper Comanche that took off from Whiteman Airpark in Pacoima. Air traffic controllers lost contact with the pilot as he was heading to Brown Field Municipal Airport. No distress call was placed before the plane crashed in a hilly area approximately 8 miles northeast of Montgomery Field. Although the identity of the remains has not been made public yet, the plane was registered to Friedrich L. Weber. Friends say he was on his way to obtain medical treatment in Mexico, and his wife may have accompanied him. Both occupants died of severe trauma.
