Two general aviation aircraft collided at North Las Vegas Airport, killing all four people aboard both planes, aviation officials said.
On Sunday at approximately 12 p.m. local time, a Piper PA-46 was getting ready to land when it collided with a Cessna 172, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
“The Piper crashed into a field east of Runway 30-Right and the Cessna fell into a water retention pond,” the FAA said. “Two people were aboard each aircraft.”
There were no survivors, the Clark County Department of Aviation said in a statement.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
Matthew Binner, president of Airwork Las Vegas, which owns one of the planes, said on Facebook, “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those involved in yesterday’s terrible accident. This world lost some great people & aviators.”
The other plane was owned by Gold Aero Aviation LLC of Tampa.
