Morrison called the (,'vil Aeronautics Authority in Atlanta aud -received permission to have the badly damaged plane moved to Shelby. The plane was moved about 1:30 P. M. The young couple had taken oR from the Shelby airport, for a pleasure cruise and had flown to Kings Mountain where the ship landed at Hawk Haven (airport). It was short ly after the.-take-off from the local airport that the crash occurred. It was understood that young McKinney had only a solo license which does not allow passengers to be flown. The general opinion of those who have some knowledge of flying that the wreck. was caused by stunting of the ship. Mr. J. O. Nalle. C. A. A inspector for this district was in town Sunday and was expected to return to make further investigation of the crash. It is an established fact that the ship was not out of gas, and the ship did not come apart in the air.
