    Around 6:40 a.m., San Bernardino Fire responded to reports of a structure fire at the Cable Airport,” said Eric Sherwin, Public Information Officer for the San Bernardino County Fire Department. “An additional 911 caller stated that a light aircraft
    had crashed into one of the hangars.”

    The hangar is used by the Ontario Police Department to store their air support units, Sherwin said
    A man, who witnessed a plane crash himself in Fullerton, said that he and his father — who is also a pilot — have seen planes crash at Cable Airport before.

    “My dad flies out of Apple Valley Airport and lands here all the time, and we do occasionally see people come up short and a couple crashes here,” he said. “But nothing this bad, ever. This is really, really bad.”
    All three people inside the aircraft, the pilot and two passengers, were pronounced dead at the scene. They have not been identified.

    According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the single-engine Beechcraft P35 crashed during departure from the airport around 6:40 a.m. It struck an Ontario police department hangar

    Not quite.

    It basically crashed on the apron and slide into the hangar.

    Who is this guy and his father that always seems to be around when a
    plane crashes?

    What a surprise, that an airport that has been in existence for over 75
    years has had previous incidents.

    Pointless arm waving.

    This happened 2 weeks ago and everyone was identified well before the
    end of the day.

    Every indication so far is that it was a departure stall but no one
    knows why as of yet.
