Victims ID'd in Joliet airport plane crash

The National Transportation Safety Board says it appears a small plane carrying a Wisconsin couple was taking off at Joliet Regional Airport when it "took a hard left," flipped over and crashed into a field.

NTSB officials said Friday that the cause of Thursday night's crash was still unclear, but it appears the couple had stopped to refuel.

The Will County coroner's office tentatively identified the victims as 52-year-old Deborah Loiselle and 50-year-old Stuart Seffern of Madison. The coroner's office says autopsies are planned Saturday.

Airport officials say the plane took off from Buffalo Niagara International Airport in New York. NTSB officials say the plane appeared to be flying from Orlando, Fla.

A Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman says the plane was a Lancair. Such planes are typically purchased as kits and home-built.
