DC-3 Crashes; All 32 Aboard Killed
From Times Wire Reports
A vintage plane carrying aviation enthusiasts crashed off the Dutch coast shortly after its pilot reported engine trouble. All 32 people aboard were killed. The plane, a 55-year-old DC-3 Dakota, went down in the Wadden Zee about 35 miles north of Amsterdam, coast guard spokesman Peter Paap said. It was carrying six crew members and 26 passengers--among them members of the Dutch Dakota Assn., which owned the plane. The plane was bound for Amsterdam after taking off from the North Sea island of Texel.
