7/18/13 - A Lake Fenton High School graduate was one of two men killed Wednesday when a single-engine plane crashed about 5 miles northwest of Flint. 20-year-old flying student Bryce Frownfelter was a passenger on the plane. The pilot, who has yet to be identified, was also killed. Frownfelter, a star football player for Lake Fenton who graduated in 2012, was also a Western Michigan University student. Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory says searchers found the plane about 3:45 Wednesday afternoon, about a half-mile east of Dalton Airport in Genesee County's Mount Morris Township. Cory says the plane left Dalton about 7:30am heading for Owosso Community Airport, approximately 20 miles to the southwest. The Taylorcraft plane, which was registered to the Father John 77 Flying Club in Flushing, crashed in a very heavily thicketed area. The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate. (JK)
